I had to repost. Good question. A lot of it has to do with the environment. If all an inner city black kid sees is gangs, then they could be drawn to gang culture even if there’s two parents in the home. Your mind has to be right to survive the ghetto because there’s too many pitfalls that come with ghetto life. On the flip side, if a kid is involved in sports & academics & knows what they want out of life, then being in the streets won’t cross their mind.
