Neither. If you’ve been told all your life that you are a victim of some terrible people, you are quite likely to lash out at those people. Or just lash out in general. It has nothing to do with your DNA.
Consider the Germans after WW I. They were told repeatedly that they were victims of the Jews, that the Jews stabbed Germany in the back. So it became quite easy for Germans to lash out at the Jews.
And therein is the greatest tragedy of the Obama years. He was uniquely qualified to put an end to our race problem. Instead he made it much worse.
I am in complete agreement. I live in a far northern suburb of Chicago. In the Windy City, the young people in the “neighborhoods’ have it drummed into them virtually from infanthood that they have no chance because “the man” will hold them down. Additionally, the preponderance of single family homes, with no positive male role model, adds to this. Can we even imagine the bleakness of this situation?
DITTO that.
Disagree, to a degree, because, behavior across a thousand species from humans to many animals, is tied directly to genetics. Environmental influences also play a role, but not the complete role. You might notice this in canine breeds too.
