Another gem from Shetroit.com. Shirley Bolden talks rapping, knowledge, stereotypes and the hood with her inner city students.

While “Detroit” is being typed in the City of Residence box on our birth certificates the rest of our lives are being determined. The assumption is we probably won’t graduate from high school, we’ll have children before we have a chance to grow-up, we’re pre-signed up for food stamps and will visit our sons in jails and cemeteries.

Remove the “Detroit” from the City of Residence box and type “Royal Oak.” That kid will graduate from college, have proper access and an understanding of the importance to birth control, eat Sushi at Ronin and send their kids off to college in a Ford Escape.

Bullshit.
