It's telling that when black kids with guns are in the news we hear lots of talk about "super-predators," judicial certification of minors (so they can be tried as adults), three-strikes and you're out, and other tough talk. When middle class white kids go on a shooting spree, we get lots of hand-wringing about the dangers of moral relativism and calls to curtail access to the Internet, computer games, and rap music.
