When I was a kid, black parents routinely educated their children to steer away from that sort of behavior, which was looked down upon universally in our community.
Just as the Hollywood / Madison Ave. culture has corrupted the broader US, the urban ghetto thug model has corrupted the mainstream black sub-culture. The common denominator, of course, is their left-liberal ideology.
You hit the key point in your post. When you were a kid, there were black ‘parents’. In Baltimore, the illegitimacy rate among blacks has hit 90%. That is disaster, pure and simple.
Of course there are few black conservatives, because for most there’s nothing to conserve. No ideal of family, responsibility, sacrifice, honor, etc. It’s beyond sad.
