Nah crime isn't part of the culture, most italian americans would tell you crime and the mafia isn't a part of their culture, they are criminals who share the same ethnicity that is it. No different with blacks and drug trade or hispanics in drug trade or whites in drug trade.Crime is part of the culture! Not saying it defines us, but you have to be naive to believe it isn't. Bloods, Crips, Folk gangs, VL, etc... are part of the culture and most of them are criminals. That's like saying the mafia is apart of Italian American culture. It goes hand in hand.
Drugs are apart of the culture. We glorify the shyt, white people glorify pills and meth and shyt. That's apart of their culture. The shyt that happens in our community is apart of our culture.
I think some of you are confusing culture with race. They're not the same thing.
All these gangs have a place because of what? the drug trade. Just like the italian and irish mobs grew in prominance because of illegal liqour.
As for "we' glorify shyt, no "we" don't glorify that shyt. speak for yourself if you do then you do. that being said there is always a fascination with criminal figures in entertainment, no different than white people fascination with western stickup men, mafia, theifs and what not. Seems people like yourself seem to go out of your way to make things black people do self destructive, even though its actions common across all societies in the history of the earth. Very strange thing going on with your mindset.
That said, again, you get rid of the war on drugs you get rid of gun deaths due to homicide, you get rid of the militaray police that actively go after black men for funding that comes from the war on drugs, you get rid of the school to prison pipeline that largely funded by war on drugs, and you can shift resources to treating addiction for those who want it, with is far more cost effective and functional than
