Do not be fooled into thinking it is just a Black thing, It is happening to all mankind around the world.
In western society we have as much crime and violence as in Africa and why would this be? When we have the basics of light, Water & food, It is Greed & corruption.
Evil is everywhere in this world, In some cases people do what they have to do to survive in a country with no structure in place. As for the countries with so called structure, Laws, education, employment well its not about survival it is greed & criminality and these very people could not survive in Africa if they are black or white.
As for African people well they do not take things for granted and are guided by good family values and their belief in God, which is lacking in the western world.
All you have to do is take the word "Black" out of the post and trust me it applies to the world we are living in today.
The "Gangster" lifestyle is seen as a quick way to make money, So they forget their education & wud sell out there best friend to make a buck or prove themself!
We have gangland shootings every week in Ireland and the ages are 20-28 yrs.
