So, there you have it. From one of the original n.w.a. "artists" his own self. Say there ice cube, how much long green you managed to pull in advocating killing cops and using vast amounts of weaponry in your movies?

I didn’t read the whole article, but, it’s clear to me that the thug culture, the gang culture, the whole ghetto culture, is part of all of this.

People such as Obama decry violence in Chicago, but blame it on guns brought into Illinois from Indiana, which apparently has more lenient gun laws than Illinois. The behavior and attitudes and inclinations of the youth gangs is never discussed.

We talk about access to guns but never talk about the inclinations of people who use the guns.

“People such as Obama decry violence in Chicago, but blame it on guns brought into Illinois from Indiana, which apparently has more lenient gun laws than Illinois.”

By their logic, Indiana’s crime rate should be worse than Illinois’.

Well it’s SOOOOOO much easier to blame an inanimate object than to do the real work needed or take any responsibility for creating the situation.

Isn’t part of this, that liberals will consider it racist to talk about the thug or gang culture??? So since it would be racist to criticize the behaviors of certain people, instead the liberals focus on the weapons they use, not their behaviors? Just a thought.

Good point. If Indiana’s gun laws make it easier to get a gun, then why doesn’t Indiana have a sky high rate of gun vioence????

“..but never talk about the inclinations of people who use the guns...”

Racists like Obama are a HUGE part of the problem. They profit POLITICALLY from the downside of black ignorance and laziness in these communities. The trouble-makers will continue to do what is politically expedient (keep black voters) as opposed to fixing the CULTURAL problems which are the REAL PROBLEM. And they continue to make it easy to not get education and values by pouring the resources of real hard workers into these downside communities — making welfare and other overused benefits available in lieu of what needs to be done. Welfare and no education is a way of life that keeps the Democrat pols in business.

yea, tell me something I don’t know.

And why do we have a thug culture problem? I could give you my explanation as to why, but telling saying ANYTHING disparaging about the African race is darn right just about illegal now.

And I think things will continue on a downward trajectory. I can live with it, I’m getting old. I feel for my kids and the youth that will have to be shamed and vilified because these thugs are so low IQ they can’t function in a civilized society.

And just 13% of the population brings all of this third world behavior down on us. If they were the majority, I’m sure they could even believe that genocide against others would be fine.

I’m sure the thug neighborhoods in Indianapolis and Gary have high rates of gun violence.

Man is this true!

In Salt Lake City, The Vivint Arena is adorned with huge pics of members of the Jazz in various poses. Good grief, some of these guys (yes, the Black members) look like they belong to gangs. Sadly this “thug culture” is prevalent in professional sports as well as other aspects of life.

YUP! Thuggish behavior is raised up as an aspiration. Sad dang state of affairs. I’ve seen babies with “Thug Life” little t-shirts. WTH?

Yes, the problem is the many people whose “value system” allows them to shoot and kill an innocent person. Brought to you by years of liberalism.

If a black does it,it’s the gun’s fault.

If a white does it,it’s the shooter’s fault.

All you have to do is see who has run the city for the last fifty years

Simple you put the thugs in jail

Rudy cleaned up NY by doing his….you start when there teenagers and they might get the point when there friends wind up in jail
