the answer to your 2nd question is they were put in a situation where surival was no longer a top priority like I said in the video or the ones who have made it took respondablity to get themselves out & use other resources. Also whats your idea of rob? They could get rob by not getting the help because they are from underprivileged areas or the poorer having to pay taxes, thats a form of robbery while the rich pay less. May I ask how columbine tie in to this topic?

In essence you are saying these kids are being born into a "WAR ZONE" by irresponsible parents, who had no business bringing children into a bloody mess that will impede their developmental growth . To me that is not an example of "Black Love". It makes no sense having children one cannot afford, which is an example of economic suicide that is often carried to the next generation, while remaining in a state of poverty. Not a sound economic strategy.

I know what you mean about the middle name thing. I go by my first name and Mid initial when applying for jobs myself

Can't even name our children what we want to. My boyfriend is Muslim, and if we had children they would have Muslim names. Names like Jamal or Aaliyah or even Mohamed. What? So because of a name, my child won't be able to get a job? That's wrong man.

so if it is socio-economic issue question. 1) that means columbine wouldn't have happened . 2) How do you account for the people that made it and are also from the streets? 3) who robs broke people wealthy or other broke people?
