Everyone has different cultures, and each culture has some good things and some bad things. This is just an example of some of the bad things from this culture. It is too bad that most of the leaders in this culture are out blaming everyone else for their problems rather than looking at themselves as the problem.

When you have young black males killing each other it is certainly not a racism issue. There is a big problem with so many young black males wanting to be the cool gangsta. It isn't so cool when you are caught and go to jail or worse end up dead because of it. It is really a sad situation.

I totally agree with you thatsgreat. Something needs to be done and it needs to start within the black community.

These stories are getting so old. Hey Rev Barber, you need to focus on these crimes involving young black males. It's not racial, it's a plague amonst them that is never ending. You need to work on removing the fascination of violence with these kids. I say you, I mean help with the parents on doing so.
