"Black" is neither a race nor a culture.
100% THIS.

Seems you are trying to somehow shift responsibility, consequences away from consenting actions.
THE RICH CAN MITIGATE NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES.

My mistake, yes.
I'd advise against personal anecdotes.

Your identity cannot validate or invalidate your LOGIC.

But anything you say can and will most certainly be used against you RHETORICALLY.

Being a teen mom is a choice.
Yes.

In the exact same way you "choose" to wrap your car around a tree.

I really don't like the term "black culture" as you have people of all colors that are part of European culture and also people of all colors that are part of African culture.

I'm going to agree with grey here. I believe that culture is NEVER bound to any specific race. 
Well, do you mean "skin tone" because there's only one "race".

Are you saying that glorifying thugs rapping about getting shot, doing drugs, and having a bunch of sex can have bad effects on children?
Heresy!

 the gangsta slash ghetto thing. even if not all blacks participate in it, they are still victims of it... it causes them to have less opportunity when businesses don't build in the ghetto, it causes white people to fear blacks more and take it out on the black folk who dont act up.
AND TO THINK, THEY WERE ALL SO RICH AND POWERFUL BEFORE WHITE KIDS STARTED BUYING THEIR RECORDS.

to the young blacks who act gangsta/ghetto... if you don't want to be treated like a stereotype, then dont act like one. 
FEAR = RESPECT

Just ask a cop or a soldier.

i grew up a poor white boy... but i was sometimes called a "prep". i dressed nice even with the cheap clothes i could afford, and i didn't act poor.  when i was really young, i wouldn't have even known any different that i was poor. and i never played a victim card. 
Good job.  I'm impressed an orphan could even survive long enough to sew together scraps of discarded trash.

I agree that hood/ghetto culture is bad for society.
And mutherflipping JAMES BOND and BATMAN is somehow "good" for "society"??

Please explain.

you can't deny that black folks are predisposed to the hood culture much more than other races.
I'm quite certain that forming self-interested groups (clubs/gangs/organizations/corporations/governments) is most certainly NOT "skin tone" specific.

Nationalism is an aggressive push to melt the salad bowl.
So are you "pro-melt" (THX1984)?

It is the kind of racism that is embedded in our financial institutions, our standard business operating procedures and our UNCONSCIOUS biases  --- you know, the kind we are not even aware of.  
Well stated.

When the day comes where a poor person can win a case against a mega-corporation, without the assistance of another mega-corporation, on that day we just might be on the threshold of THE RULE OF LAW.

If justice is not blind, there is no justice.

Certainly not if you include Breonna Taylor, who was literally just asleep, with 2 other people that made obvious tragic lifestyle choices leading to their downfall.
I love it when you try to defend POLICE BRUTALITY.

So what is the solution,

1) integrate Blacks into Western Culture?
2) integrate Whites into African Culture?
3) Maintain the status quo and blame the failures of hip-hop African culture on "invisible gaseous racism"?

I'm guessing you will go with option 3.
Imagine for a moment that I murdered your parents while you were an infant.

You were raised in a ramshackle orphanage where you were you were forced to perform manual labor and denied access to education.

When you grow up and leave the orphanage, you learn that I killed your parents and took their land and possessions.

What do you personally think is "appropriate" to "remedy" this "situation"?

4) Integrate all people, of all colors (within the borders of the USA), into the American Republic,  "Democratically Fair" Culture.

As for single parent homes with high-school dropouts, I don't understand your reference.  Trump has been President for 4 years and there are still high-school dropouts.  I very much doubt that the number of single-parent households would drop significantly no matter who ended up as President.
Well stated.

It doesn't seem to me that they even want to assimilate, and I wouldn't expect them to want to.
You seem to be ignoring the vast differences between "white" northern "culture" and "white" southern "cultures" and "white" eastern "culture" and "white" western "culture" and "white" "bible belt" "culture" and "white" "middle america" "culture".

Do you realize that there are 50 different states within the "United" States?

Do you realize that each one of these states has it's own set of "cultures"?

When you advocate for "assimilation" you sound an awful lot like THX1984BORG.

What is your preferred "solution" to this "problem"??

Any attempts to integrate marginalized people into Western culture will be shut down with charges of "racism"
What's your proposal?

And I also do not like serial killers, which overwhelmingly seem to be white instead of black.
And they also seem to get plenty of exposure in "pop-culture", but somehow that's "not a problem".

48 percent of non-Hispanic black women get pregnant before age twenty.  Of this group, 97 percent are unmarried and have little recognizable means of financial or emotional support.  Less than 23 percent of fathers remain in the lives of the child, or offer any financial assistance.  Sadly, more than a quarter of teen mothers will be pregnant again less than two years after giving birth the first time.
POOR and or neglected children (for example with a working single parent) are much more likely to engage is risky social behavior.

And once again.

What exactly is your proposed "solution" to this "problem"?

Do you perhaps believe that making abortion illegal will magically fix all of this?

You can’t even have the same outcomes from children of the same parents, but then they want to compare two genetically different groups with essentially antithetical cultures?
RICH = BRIGHT

POOR = DIM

The "racism" is a red herring.

Thank you for clearing that up.

Do you support banning all popular portrayals of outlaws, criminals, rogues and vigilantes?

What do you think is an appropriate response to such things?

are you saying young blacks have no choice but to act like thugs, because they are poor? are you saying thug culture has no choice but to exist, because they are generally poorer.. or maybe you are saying white racism causes thug culture?
