Look man I'm not going to spend hours writing up a fucking essay with citations for you. The black community in the US has been fucked since the drug war began, dope took the men in the 70s and early 80s and crack took the women in the late 80s and early 90s, though you could easily say that the seeds were sown during the 1960s. There is no families to raise the kids properly and every single black kid that succeeds does it in spite of the black community, not because of them, they manage to pull themselves out of that hellhole through sheer force of will while a dozen or more crabs try pulling them back down into the bucket. Also before you try that whole "oh ur just a racist" shtick, no, I get along great with older black people, its the kids that grew up in the era gangster rap and that I can't fucking grok because they're so self destructive, they're touched in the head in a way that I just don't want to deal with, I keep my distance because hanging around such people for long periods of time just gets you into their troubles as well and you start emulating them.
