There is a "black culture " problem in this country. But it is unfair to categorically assign this to every African American. It is a disservice and unfair.
In the early 1900s, Irish Americans were held in low regard, were often involved in crime and otherwise were a rather unregarded ethicity. Or so I understand ...
The current "black culture" problem originates from Lydon Baines Johnson's "War On Poverty". His plan was to eradicate poverty via social spending.
Unfortunately, the road to hell is paved with good intentions [and poor enactment] and the "welfare system" did a very fine job of rewarding mothers with money if they remained unmarried and had a lot of children.
This went on until the mid-1990s, so there was about 2 generations worth of children without fathers and poor parental supervision because the system rewarding having as many children as you possibly could.
Now, given that this was a large component of the current "black culture" problem [that is slowly getting corrected], how can you entirely fault "black people" for a situation created by a white male president and a white male House and Senate?
