true - skin color is meaningless in and of itself but when that skin color is attached to a culture that is dominated by the glorification of thugs and thug behaviour it's not surprising or wrong to mistrust, dislike, the members of that culture. there are many blacks who are embarassed and saddened by it all.
there are white knuckleheads but for anybody to say that the % of knuckleheads in white and black segments of society is burying their head in the sand.
poverty, no father figure, lack of education and the absense of hopes and dreams beyond delusional ones like making it to the NBA or a rap music career are what's responsible. i bet that if you just adjusted the numbers to black families with a working dad in the home that you'd see kids in those homes commit far less acts like the one described at the theater and worse ones.
i think the situation is hopeless - a small % of blacks rise above the conditions that they were born into but most don't or can't and history just keeps repeating itself generation after generation.
