1st problem is the breakdown of the family unit....the percentage of black teen single mothers is staggering....2nd issue is the high school drop out rate amongst young blacks ..anothet huge problem is the glorified criminal culture ...too many young black men end up in prison (for LEGIT reasons) because they try to live out this glorified criminal life style...another reason is that for the last 25years , people in authority (black and white) have brainwashed many in the black population that their CULTURAL issues are not their fault. Its all 'whiteys' fault. This notion that 'systematic racism' is the reason for young black male violence/failures , is creating more problems all the time....when people won't look at the real reasons/issues that cause problems, those problems just get bigger.... ALSO, as soon as a non-black person brings up valid points like these, he/she is immediately labeled a 'racist' in an attempt to shut them up. FACTS HURT, apparently.
