I don’t understand these youngsters. We were bad teens and all we did was drink, smoke, maybe get in a fight once a year. Stole a couple of candy bars…

You don’t get street cred by stealing candy bars baw.

That's because even though teens, of all races, have always had a proclivity to test boundaries by engaging "bad acts", you likely grew up in a culture where murder was considered a heinous act. Something that was completely unthinkable to you and your peers...even though you were willing to engage in "lesser crimes." Thus, your lack of understanding arises from you assuming the group engaging in such behavior shares your same cultural norms.

They don't.

It is not a socially polite conversation to have, but the reality is murder is not looked upon as a heinous act in young black culture. In fact, just the opposite. GENERALLY speaking (i.e. it doesn't apply to every individual) murder is seen as a relatively reasonable response to conflict.
