No, we get the historical issues. We get that there's little generational wealth in black families. We get that there are still people alive who couldn't ride the white bus. But what we (many whites) don't get is why any of that justifies the violent crime, the lack of fathers, the obsession with rap and that culture. Esp since we constantly see immigrants from other poor countries who live peaceful productive lives and make sure their kids are educated.

It doesn't, but everything I've seen indicates that violent crime is on the decline in this country. It's never fast enough, but some people imply that it is headed in the wrong direction.

Ok, I agree that isn't a good thing, but what is getting worse because of that?

A lot of white people listen to rap as well, and what's the problem with that? Mainstream rap nowadays isn't violent like in the 90s.
