It's easy to throw out statistics without any context and jump to conclusions, but it's completely and utterly ignorant.
For example, a high percentage of African Americans in prison are incarcerated for non-victim crimes. On the other hand there is tons of white collar crime and corporate attrocities that go unpunished. So lets not pretend the imprisonment rate is indicative of the true crime rate.
AIDS and teenage pregancy has a lot to do with 1. poor sex ed in schools and 2. religious values. I would expect that you would see a similar pregnancy rate in poor, Chrisitan white areas. Inversely, I would expect there to be a low rate amongst affluent African Ameicans.
I'm not denying that there are cultural issues that in many poor African America neighborhoods that are parts of these problems, but to suggest that they are the only problem is just wrong.
i wasn't really trying to say that the ghettoville-gangsata culture is 100% completely totally responsible for these statistics
but
the ghetto culture is definately beyond-the-shadow-of-a-doubt a really fucking huge part of it
