I know some black people of western mindset, good folks that had moms and dads married, worked and went to get further education.

Normal people.

Shame they are not the majority.

I think too many are NOT of western mind.
Is it environmental or genetic?

Tribal and violent, short sighted. Not builders for they see no future. Its live for today only. And within that, they dont give a damn about tearing things down.
