This is a good one. It links African American violence to genetic predisposition which is enhanced by poor socio-economic factors.
I doubt you are going to read any of them. Instead of talking bullshit like you usually do, why don't you experience it first hand. Go re-locate to a black neighborhood, and tell us how wonderful your living experience is. Hell, if you listen to rap music, even black people are rapping about how awful their neighborhoods were. These people are making millions of dollars by targeting to the urban youth who are actually living in these shitty ghettos. Me and Vandy have both lived in black neighborhoods, and I can tell you first hand, it is not great.[/b]
