First off,you're welcome Jess. I saw the news @ CNN.com,where I usually find these things out.

As far as how Ike was raised. Well,here's a man born at the beginning of the depression era,so you can imagine his family most likely had next to nothing. As well as the fact,a lot of babies born in that era have parents of old fashioed or maybe even ill-advised values. (Of any race mind you).

Also,most know that domestic violence is something children see/experience in the home and then after they become adults,the cycle continues.
Abusers have a lot of anger in them and since sometimes they don;t deal with the person who did it to them in the firstg place,they take it out on the one's they say they love.

Whatever anger he had,at least he's free of it now.
