Raising Our Children - The Double Edge Sword

Fellow Earthlings,

Normally, I use this outlet as a means to rant and rave about random fodder that feeds your comedic senses. Today, I ask your opinion on a more relevant topic...BUT DO NOT WORRY MY LITTLE DEVIANTS!...THE CRITIC WILL CONTINUE FOCUS PRIMARILY ON THE JUICIER SIDE OF LIFE...OK, HERE IS THE QUESTION OF THE DAY:

IS IT BETTER TO RAISE A BLACK CHILD IN A MOSTLY-WHITE RURAL ENVIROMENT WITH EXCELLENT SCHOOLS?....OR RAISE THE CHILD IN A MOSTLY-BLACK URBAN ENVIROMENT WITH AVERAGE SCHOOLS?

While both have their advantages and disadvantages, I STRONGLY prefer the latter. And yes, I am biased because I was raised on the "SOUTH SIDE!" of Chicago. Why? While teaching the King's English AND accessing higher quality learning institutions are easier and cheaper in the burbs, TEACHING your child what it takes to truly love themselves and use their roots (hate to sound so 1950-ish) to propel themselves to new heights is damn near impossible if nobody looks like them or can RELATE to them...

Now, before all of you get your panties in a bunch, please note...I do believe that education, safety, and speaking like you have read at least one book in your life are of the utmost importance...The Critic just want to hear some varied opinions...

For the nosy -
