ok jus got in a debate w/ someone i know online...

the african american culture started with slavery, that was the basis of their culture, obviously a pretty negative thing.

now what i believe, is that due to african americans being enslaved initially, the current african american society is at such a high crime rate and over all high negative statistics mainly because of their culture's history..

now he disagrees... and believes that if for example jewish people, or any other race, were enslaved like that (including whites), that that same race in presant day would be fine and would have been able to bounce back easily and understand that whatever happened in the past, is over.

i disagree with that, i think if a culture like the african american's have been exposed to the media, and history of their initial culture, for years on end, that of course it'll affect their culture in a negative way, providing reason for their current cultural status.

what do you guys think?? is it because of their past, or is it because african american's are genetically different.
