I feel like there's a combination of things. Poorer communities will more than likely have an any means necessary type of mentality. Males in general are encouraged even at a young age to toughen up and start fighting. I also feel like a lot of black men aren't encouraged to be as ambitious as everyone else. Guys from broken/divorced families frequently get compared to the "failure fathers" when they do something wrong, certain shows and music is frowned upon, homophobia is really strong as well.

All the pressure of having to be a model black male turns a lot of guys off imo. Once they don't believe they can pull it off, they give up and turn to negativity, drugs, and alcohol.

The shitty education system doesn't help either.

I like this. Real words.
