You're not very bright are you.
Deindustrialization hit blacks first. Now as it is working its way through the country we are seeing the steady Eminem-ization of young white males. After all, what is crank (that's crystal methamphetamines) but crack for white people ? And crank use among young whites is skyrocketing.
Chronic joblessness makes it impossible to form stable families as the working class slides into ghetto underclass/trailer trash. Among low and semi skilled whites you are seeing the levels of illegitimacy, incarceration, and substance abuse approach inner city levels. That is what happens when people lose hope.
I know you would like to believe, "Well, that just's because those people have no moral character. That could never happen to white people." Check the skinheads in the Midlands where crime has reached decidely un-English levels. Check the grimy, empty factory towns of what used to be East Germany, but stay away from the skinheads.
