The only way blacks can redeem themselves from the negative sterotypes that = deeply ingrained in the western culture = to attain a strong social upward mobility (in education, get away from crime ++++). People can cry about racism being bad and all, and that is true, but the blacks = helping sustain + even strengthen racism by the actions by many, even though there = many good blacks around as well.
If many black people spent the energy they spend on "ghetto shit" and all the "chip on their shoulder thinking" on something more worthwhile to further themselves and their lives, they'd be very successful..
