Worked in the ghetto trying to pull minority students through to graduation and then to college during the worst of the Crips and Bloods crack cocaine wars.

Even then the gang culture of violence,racial hate and rejection of white America and it's social and cultural norms was overwhelmingly bad .

Since then has gotten progressively worse and it has metastasized to become main stream culture.

It is something well meaning, normal middle class Americans simply cannot understand until they have lived it.
