That will fix everything that ails black culture.

For sure. If you google "black culture" (*) you get directed to a Wikipedia page full of wonderful references. However, it appears the elements of "black culture" described on that page have little to do with the reality of today's destructive urban culture. I know, I shouldn't conflate the two, but they are hard to separate in today's environment.

Even more disconnected from reality than the Wikipedia page are the portrayals of modern life for minorities in America. Listening to the MSM, talking heads, and rioters' "leaders" you'd think statues were leaping down off their pedestals to beat-down minorities. That team/company/product names and advertising brought tears to their eyes on a daily basis. Or that there were weekly lynchings and bodies routinely swinging from lamp-posts. To hear them tell it, it is nearly unbearable to merely exist here. No wonder they can't breath.

Never mind that today's street-level "black culture" is mostly identified with things that are not paths to long, happy, successful lives. If black lives mattered, the first thing to go shouldn't be statues, but "black culture" as it is today. I'm sure somewhere in there are some elements of real culture that are positive influences. Somewhere.


(*) Note, I will only capitalize "black" at the beginning of a sentence.
