The new racist bastards: "Abraham Lincoln. Frederick Douglass. Susan B. Anthony. W.E.B. Du Bois. Harriet Beecher Stowe. Barack Obama."

What chance does a simple old white guy have when the above parties are considered racist. I"m out of here on caring at this point.

There was a problem (2,605 murders in 1990) and we attempted to solve it (we did - 924 in 1998). Use Google-fu.

Don't like that solution - develop time travel and go back to "help us understand" where we will go wrong.

The current problems are yours to solve now. Stop whining and get to it.

Those numbers are for NY:

Meanwhile, in the UK: Classes for parents of children about to take their exams.

The classes are designed to help the parents lighten up. That sounds like it might be a good idea.
