Here I was thinking I'd have to yell at hifi again. Now I can just point and laugh instead.

I'm sure you could find the same type of pictures of a recruit at, say, Michigan.

I personally despise every single bit of that thug ideology. The problem is that even taking that position makes you some kind of a racist. To me, that isn't and shouldn't be a "me problem," but rather a "you problem."
That being said, I must admit that such images don't inherantly meant that the kids are thugs. It really is a sort of catch 22. You don't judge a book by its cover -- agreed -- but if the cover is "all" you have to go on, then it's reasonable for the squaw to sqeel a bit.

The one with the gun could have another explanation, but that one probably means you are a thug. |

Who cares if he's a thug. I'm pretty sure public defecation is a crime.

Maybe you're in to that, but not me. Of course, once they get to Michigan they're too busy to take such pictures because RichRod is taking up all their time (but not documenting it). |

Of course, once they get to Michigan they're too busy to take such pictures because RichRod is taking up all their time (but not documenting it). Clearly, working kids to death in the training room and in spring practice is not working for RichRod, so maybe he should adopt some SEC-style practices with regards to player supervision. |

That's kind of interesting kc. Thanks for sharing. Again, I know nothing of this kid other than what I've read on the internet. On one hand, you could suggest that his answer was a sort of cop-out desinged to absolve him from some form of associated guilt. On the other hand, maybe he's being entirely truthful. If so, then it's reasonable to believe that kids as they "mature" associate with one group of people or another, but if they don't then they are a sort of loner and a target of both. If you look at it that way, then I'd find it hard to place much blame on the kid. The key is still what the kids DO! I have said that all along. I don't care one bit what color someone's skin is. I do, however, care a whole lot about what someone DOES. In this regard, I am still in a catch 22. If the gangs are associated with crime -- be it brurglary, robbery or worse -- then I am strongly against the entire gang, even if some members don't participate in the actions. But then I look back at the safety issue. And if the kid "joins" as a sort of acquiescence, then it's hard to blame him. I go back and forth. Thoughts?
