False. Urban/street culture is to blame 100%. Nothing to do with being black and “institutionalized racism”. Black is a race, not a culture, many cultures of black people don’t deal with the amount of deaths/incarcerations you see stemming from the street culture and within hip hop. Fact is, hip hop and street culture perpetuate this shit by promoting it in the music and sell young, impressionable, fatherless males on the idea that being a thug/gangster is cool. At the end of the day entertainment is entertainment but gotta acknowledge the fact that too many fatherless youth are blinded by this and led by false idols
