is it "rich" people's fault? no but to say everyone's reason for poverty is laziness is ignorant and incorrect.

That's the truth.
There is something that has gone really wrong in black culture in the U.S. where the young men are killing each other like a slaughterhouse.
I'm not sure what it's going to take to fix it. As a white guy, I don't think I'm even qualified to propose any ideas.
It's something that's gonna have to change from within.
Obviously, the black men who don't accept that kind of lifestyle CAN lift themselves out of it and achieve great things.
But the majority of black men in the inner cities never do. It's easy to get caught up in a cultural system. Growing up wanting to be the "rich" guy who deals on the corner and has all the hot babes instead of thinking about education and career.
Or growing up wanting to be a hip hop star or rapper.
It's a fucked up situation for inner city black youth in cities like Chicago.
