I agree...it is culture and values that decide the society. I had the unique experience of living on 2 isolated islands, one in the Atlantic by Africa, the other in the Pacific. Similar economic situations but the people were direct opposites in their values. On one island no one locked their doors and kept their keys in the ignition on their cars...on the other, anything that was not nailed down was stolen. Pretty interesting.
The students were (legal) immigrants from some African country, who came here to achieve greatness in the greatest nation in the world. They wanted to work hard and get good grades so they could get rich, and they were encouraged to achieve by their (married) parents, most of whom were successful businesspeople in the community. But some of the "native American" black students, as it were, thought that the way these newcomers were getting great grades was "disrespecting" them and making them look bad, and so, in the classic solution used by brawny underachievers, decided to beat the tar out of those "uppity" black Poindexter's.
Not a word about this in the national networks, of course. And the one newspaper article, which all but called it a "hate crime", completely left out the color of the attackers, letting your brain fill in the wrong answer.
In the end, it is not about race. It is about culture. If your culture glamorizes drugs, calls women "Hoes", accepts petty crime from your young men and blames the police for "shooting our babies" when your babies pull a gun on the cops, then your culture is morally bankrupt. If you really want to change things, you should accept judgment and work to change your culture, not spend eternity blaming "the man" for keeping you down. MLK is probably spinning in his grave.
