I don't think anyone is saying that all white people are exemplary.

There is no doubt that our society and especially the judicial system is racist against blacks.  I think being black in this country is hard (I am Asian).  Blacks do definitely get the brunt of most of the racism around the world.  Years of instituted slavery, families torn apart, not being allowed to be educated or even if you were, couldn't get a good job probably would hamper most cultures.

However, I think it is true that the black community in the US does not help itself as much as it could.  I'm not saying it would be easy.  How do you go about changing 200 yrs of a certain culture.  But I don't see Al Sharpton and the likes shouting "we must change our culture to value education more than sports or music".  It would be a good start if such leaders would indeed lead the way.

And I don't think black culture is all about violence.  A lot of them do value family, going to church, etc...

IDK - this country is definitely unique because of its history with slavery.   Other European countries had slavery but it was usually limited to the islands and not in the actual home country on the Continent or the UK, so its people and culture weren't as affected by slavery as the US is.
