The last thread got derailed and locked, but I'm still interested in what people genuinely think. I'm still taken aback that even making a conjecture that it might have something to do with past racism got me accused of being an "apologist" and anti-white racist.
I think the cause of and perpetuation of certain cultural elements are two different things. Most people have difficulty stepping outside of their cultural bounds and think the way things are in life aren't anything they can control, though there are, of course, people who are exceptions.
As for the cause of "ghetto culture", I suppose you would have to define ghetto culture in some way to talk about it in a broad sense, and as for the origin of specific elements, I would have to know what elements, specifically.
