It is a problem of black culture, and Asian and white. It arises because we have a significant population of disconnected young men who have no chance of ever getting anywhere in life for all sorts of reasons that arise from their disconnect - yet they want all the things in life which general culture tells them they ought to have, like a fast car, monetary wealth, consumer goods, and respect which comes in the shape of a gun. Generally they have had no father figure, and possibly also no sufficient mothering, they lack any education apart from a PhD in the law of the streets, and they naturally gravitate into testosterone fuelled gangs where they have a chance for all that they want. The reason it appears to be a black cultural problem, is that the greater number of these young guys are black, and that obviously tilts the whole picture for the likes of a politician talking tough on crime who has no idea - simply no f'in idea - what real life is like for real people living in real situations in the real city outside the cabinet room. Knowing a little of how things are, its easy to see why these young guys are as they are, for really they have little other course of action open to them. Thats not an excuse for them either, by the way. Neither is it a suggestion that there must be some inherent flaw in black people which explains their situations; it is rather that they are most represented in the population that is entirely disconnected from society. It is to the reason for the disconnect to which we must look for any solution, and since this disconnect occurs in all ethnic and cultural groupings, it is something to do with society in general, rather than the culture of any single group.
