re: What Can I do to Lower Black Participation in Crime

Convince innercity black women to value an educated man and stop lusting after thugs who will be out of their lives the moment a baby is born

I get what your saying and I agree.

However, the appeal made by the media is so strong that its a difficult nut to crack. There is a perception that a thug is "strong" or more manly.

Interestingly, whites have a similar dynamic with the 'bad boy' archetype

However, it has become a much larger problem in the black community.
