Yeah, your path in life is determined by your parents and your family and there is a very real problem with urban black families. There is a broken culture and a shattered family unit for so many young kids. They really don't have a chance.
And how can we fix this if anyone who mentions the problem is shouted down as a racist and the discussion stops before it can be started? Obama could have change the path of our nation and been instrumental in helping fix the problem, but he instead threw gasoline on the fire.
This young rapper failed and made bad decisions, but he was let down by his family, his community and the country as a whole.
