Any drop in crime is attributed to mass incarceration and abortions (thanks, Freakonomics). But blacks still commit the most violent crime percentage-wise and it isn't close.
I've never been one to blame music or video games or TV, but I do think rap music is both reinforcing and symptomatic of what too many young black males value.

I agree with the abortion point, but I suspect some of the same people who typically bemoan AA violence rates are also pro-life. It's a contributing factor, but by how much, considering the decline continues long after the effects of RvW came of age?
Do you have a link regarding your mass incarceration claim? Seems like that would be more disruptive to AA families and could potentially lead to more negative consequences.
