 Jaylon McKenzie, an eighth grade football phenom who was already fielding offers from colleges, was shot to death outside of a party over the weekend, police said.

The 14-year-old rising star was attending a party near his hometown in southern Illinois on Saturday when he was struck by stray gunfire, authorities said Sunday.

Police said they received calls about a disturbance and shots fired at a "large party" in Venice, Illinois, near the Missouri border, around 11:40 p.m., according to the Illinois State Police.

Years ago, I watched the original news story on an up and coming high school basketball star slain, that's still a pretty famous case and then, actually, I think that is one of the incidences in that movie, "Boyz in the Hood" or however it's called.

It appears that, contrary to popular opinion, cultures, religions and racial groups are NOT EQUAL in terms of peaceful civilized BEHAVIOR.

In the US it seems the government has not changed this, despite massive and costly attempts.

Prior to LBJ's great society, African Americans had the fastest increase in business ownership, home ownership, they had some of the most stable families, and their wealth was increasing at a faster rate than other groups in this country, including whites.

Within one generation of the Great Society, all that collapsed.

The issues we are seeing in the African American community have nothing to do with their race/DNA or even some inherent culture. It is the result of the federal government targeting a community to 'save' by making them a dependent group and propping up leaders within those communities who have vested interest in keeping people down and dependent.

What you are seeing is the victim of big government, not a result of race.

The field of"Epigenetics" studies how culturre, experiences can alter DNA.


So by whatever mechanism certain groups wind up with destructive behaviors, it does occur.


American blacks perform below Carib blacks. Reservation Native Americans very likely under-perform below non-reservation types, etc.

But blacks in the UK exhibit similar results with blacks in the US.


It may well be BOTH Nature and Nurture.

The popular politically correct view is that IQs are the same across all races, when tests reveal that to not be true.

EVERY word true. I used to walk through a black neighborhood to get to little league baseball games when I was 10-12 years old,and this included walking past a couple of black bars on Friday nights. Never had a minute of trouble from anyone. There was a black woman that sometimes came over to visit with my mother,and nobody really thought anything of it.

Then the 1960's happened,and the DNC figured out how to enslave the blacks and keep them from succeeding in life on their own by convincing them they were parasites that NEEDED the Dim whites in order to survive.

Of course they did this buy blackmailing or just flat-out bribing the black preachers,who were and still are the dominant power in black neighborhoods.
