i don't know if i buy the 'genetic disposition'. is this a medical fact or what? its kinda like saying being a failure is a genetic disposition. because uncle loser couldn't keep his shit together might mean you have a higher chance of not being able to keep your shit together but is that really due to genetics or environment or what expectations are of you or what?
being a failure can in some way be a genetic disposition... if you have a subpar mental aptitude combined with some mental issue that causes rage, and that combined with low quality parenting...

I know the common dialog is to blame everything on whitey and the man but in truth at some point people are responsible for their behaviors'

I accepted full responsibility for my addiction, took the appropriate steps to resolve that issue and more importantly did not pass the bad parenting on to my Daughter
