Let me fix this sentence: One of the major factors contributing to the stressful environment for young black males (and other minority youth) continues to be the persistent pattern of police harassment, misconduct and brutality toward by these youth.
The horrendous crime rate by young black males in and out of school (see Trayvon Martin) is the root cause of their problems. Give up the criminality and become productive citizens and voila, you problems "caused" by racism will disappear.

I continue to deal with these young blacks who are hanging out at a section 8 house planted in our neighborhood. Couple of them hanging out on the corner pulling their pants down and stroking themselves today as couple white girls walked up the street.
I gotta figure how I’m going to deal with this scum.....!! They’re creating a lot of problems here.
