He almost never hit me in the face. He even told me that's how he kept from getting arrested. I'd be in the kitchen and he'd kick me in the balls or I'd be riding shotgun and he'd suddenly crack me in the chest while driving down the freeway. The same way some people routinely kick their dog. Some people grow up with getting assraped. I'm glad I didn't but you don't hear that kid screaming locked away in suburbia like you do in the city. I've spoken with people who've told me they were raped countless times as a child. I don't know who does it more or why but the stories I've heard come from people who are white not black and I actually run across a healthy mix of all kinds in life. So again, I'll say it, I don't think we really know enough to assume that blacks are more violent based on crime statistics.

Jesus. Now I'm worn out before the day has even started.
