I separated from my wife in 1990 and spent six months living with a strange under-achiever genius in a solidly black neighborhood in Minneapolis's inner city.
If you want your heart broken sit in the apartment stairwells and listen to pre-teen children huddled together whispering about all of that yelling and screaming going on inside of their apartments.
By the time they are teens they are of a different sort. To them I was the enemy or a mark. They don't whisper, they are brash and insulting and probably carry guns but don't know how to hit what they are aiming at.
They got that way because they used to be the little kids with too serious faces having whispered conversations in stairwells.
You said somewhere here that you will not tolerate this for the children. But the purpose of children and the reason we like them so much is that they are going to grow in to adults but they are not yet 'throwaway people'. Not tainted. Yet.
Her's a shocker. All criminals and sex criminals started out as children. The throwaway people are the parents of the soon to be tainted children.
If we love children so much we may consider loving that which they will turn into if they survive childhood.
The problem with these neighborhoods goes far beyond sexual assault. Sex offenders in these neighborhoods probably offer a welcome distraction from Meth, Crack, Prostitution, and stray bullets.
Why stop at just saving them from sex ofenders?
