heyyou:
I think there's always been violent crime, it's just that the media report & manipulate it more to their agenda.
So example, you had the gangsters on the east end of london decades ago, yorkshire ripper etc
Also society is being manipulated to become more materialistic & sexual (films & music play a big part) and the crime seems to reflect that.
Also some of the immigrants that come from war torn countries (Somalia, Sudan etc) bring the same mentality over with them.
To generalise an say all blacks are like this or that would be wrong. Certain African counties are very similar to say Indian (strict family unit, high emphasis on education etc).
It's the same with Europe, you have different areas like western europe, then you have eastern europe that have suffered the effects of communism.

Well of course, you have always had gangsters but they were gangsters with a different mentality. It was not the norm for them to gang rape young girls, or to intimidate the neighborhood. Unless you crossed them, then of course it was a different matter. I wasn't saying black people are inherently bad, if I thought that I would say it. You make a good point concerning the mentality of warn worn refugees but am surprised you haven't mentioned the single mother's pandemic. Definitely the gangster lifestyle is poisoning the youth but why is it so appealing to black youths especially?
virtuoso:
I want to challenge one premise though, many of these black youths of today were born and raised here. They have not known war
heyyou:
I agree with you that father-less children is a huge huge problem.
The lack of a father figure is having such a detrimental effect on society.
Again, there are many factors which contribute to this.
Why are black youth look up to the gangster culture? Again I would say not all are. It would be a part of the black community in the inner city that's poor and with out a good father figure. This also applies to the white/asian community too.
Look at the music videos, tv, films, sports etc. That's where black people are SHOWN to be successful (again the elite manipulating society), the quick rich, materialistic, instant success etc.
Again this also applies to some poor white people too (the X-factor/big-brother/TOWIE generation) where being an ignorant idiot is celebrated & aspired to!
