Don't jump to that conclusion automatically. Too many of Da Boyz in Da Hood have been exposed to Muslim rhetoric thanks to recruitment by the Nation of Islam via time spent on the block - the cell block, that is.
I think we meant "Da Boyz in Da Hood " literally, not racially. Interesting though.
And there you have it, thank you
Yes a lot of ME own shops and stores in the inner city. They are not universally liked or trusted and are often victimized by crime, even more so than the average. Yet they tend to be well entrenched in the neighborhoods.
Islam is a way for blacks in prison to survive. Sometimes it indeed "takes" for the longterm. However the levels I teach are "street" veterans. I don't care how hardcore they may be, how cold, how distant. At some level they have roots. Some have nuclear families who may not be able to control their behavior, but there is a deeply instilled (believe it or not) respect for certain family members. Mamma and GRANDmama hold some mystical "clout" over young black men. Doesn't even have to be their own mama or grandmama. What do all these mama's and grandmama's have in common for the most part? Christianity. Church is deep running river through the black community. I think they'll know the enemy when he moves and I think they'll know what to do. In any case I have no doubt that their "marching orders" will come from the Lord.
