There is confusion between being racist and describing a sub culture.
Being a culturist and discussing subcultures is not being racist. It seems pretty obvious that in the cited neighborhoods there is a criminal subculture that is a portion of a larger community that taken together is a minority of the American population.
The black urban subculture is inherently criminal all across the country.
But why?
p.s. I just read a story of a woman from Chicago who was shot to death after returning from an anti-violence rally. What are the chances it was not a young, black male who pulled the trigger?
