I think the biggest contributor longterm is lack of responsible daddies and serial illegitimacy.

Bingo! For two generations, the welfare state has financially rewarded illegitimacy, and penalized the traditional family.

I think a child's need to feel loved by parents is stronger than a parent's love for the child.

I have heard this over and over from convicts...break down and cry cause they were abandoned by their folks.

These young black thugs lack good male role models and often even decent moms too who may have been teens themselves.

Then hopefully there is an auntie or granny to do best they can but sometimes a young lad will resent female authority quick and grow a disrespect for it...as is exemplified in rap videos and language all too often,

Then self hatred and anger

Then society and some kulture excuses and applauds that as expression...the enablers...guilty or just ignorant

that's just my armchair view


my upbringing was pure Leave it to Beaver and I was still bad news till around 40...i learned my lessons the good old fashioned hard way
