I never fully understood why someone in a ghetto who doesn’t like what they see and experience doesn’t just start walking until they get somewhere where they take a job of any kind and reestablish them selves in a less bizarre, less violent, less unstable environment. Leave evwerything and everyone and walk out. If they have kids, take them with them. Just walk....or run.
That requires effort and they have little of it. It’s easier just to smoke dope and wave a gun around. If you have kids, you are probably living in housing that is free or close to it. Where else are you going to get a deal like that?
It’s like the story of the man who lived in a house at the foot of a volcano. When the volcano erupted, the villagers ran to him and said “Flee, Run. You have to leave your house” to which he retorted “I can’t. I’m upside down on it”.
Most all of the residents that can survive outside of that culture have already left the inner cities, leaving a concentrated core of dependent non-producers. It really is not a black thing, it is a culture thing. Most blacks that have made it out on their own do not buy in at all to the hip hop gamsta saggy pant rap bust a cap in yo ass *uck dem hos mantra of the ghetto.
