Why are black people uncivilized and "ghetto" and howcome they don't realize how trashy they can be?

When I was in school there were many black people and I noticed that even though we were in the same classes learning the same subjects and lessons, they still couldn't speak normally. I used to think when I was much younger that perhaps as we advanced further along in our English and language arts lessons that eventually all the other kids including the black ones would catch up and learn to speak proper English.
And black women, especially the very large ones, have a tendency to dress really ugly like they seriously have no idea how tacky they are? They wear this very obviously fake hair that looks like plastic and gets all dirty and nappy after couple of days and wear inappropriately tight and "sexy" clothing for their weight.

It makes me really sad because it just seems like a lot of them don't even want to be any better, and I'm not racist but it's so difficult to take anyone seriously when they refuse to speak English correctly or dress respectably, nor behave in a way that merits any respect.

And if you are a civilized black person then great! None of this actually applies to you! I'm just wondering about the ones who refuse to adapt!

I already told you people I'm not a racist.

I am talking about the particular group of black people who refuse to better themselves. The ones who choose (yes, CHOOSE) to live in squalor, roam with gangs, and sell drugs because it makes them more "real" according to their "homies".

Even their so-called "proud" African ancestry is severely lacking in what can be considered "culture". Their culture is one of violence. Territory wars and blood diamonds, large roving renegade gangs committing violent crimes against anyone who stands in their way. They could be using the diamonds to improve their economy, but they choose instead to continue savage violence.

It is much the same in the 'States in the "project" neighborhoods. They have plenty of opportunity because of the public school system but it seems like they so fear peer rejection that they choose instead to remain stupid and violent and tacky.

I think it is insane that I am being accused of being insane for asking what can be construed as a "taboo" question. I think this is as valid a question as any, as I am not referring to all black people. I am only referring to the black culture of violence and being "ghetto" for the sake of being ghetto.

Rylan - Thank you for taking my question seriously and answering so thoroughly and respectfully. I realize that there are plenty of hot buttons that I have pushed with my question, but I felt that such detail was necessary so people would know what I am talking about.

I also think it's funny how people assume I am white simply because my avatar is. My avatar is some model.

A lot of who we are is determined by our upbringing.

They had major role models in their lives who dressed and talked like that, and they ended up following suit.

Part of it stems from having a family history of poverty, where the values that the family instills in the child will be more based on survival skills than on what mainstream Western society considers positive, like getting a good education and going on to an advanced career.

Just try to imagine growing up in a ghetto. You might only have a mother who works 50+ hours a week to feed you. She can hardly ever afford to buy you new clothes, toys, or any other necessities. Your home is filthy. Every night, you are kept awake by violence in the streets.

Growing up in an environment like that would make anyone value different things than a "civilized" life would. For one, you would need to be tough and able to stand up for yourself. You would also need to be accepted by the other people in the neighborhood by dressing in the same way and mimicking their style of speech - if you aren't accepted, you don't have anyone to watch your back, and you get killed. For women, you need to be promiscuous, as it helps you to get what you need.

It's all a vicious cycle. The only way to get out of it is to get a good education and move up to a higher class where one has a stable career and a home. However, that is quite a bit more difficult for people who live in such a hostile environment that don't value this type of success at all. Eventually, the ones who don't get out have sex, have babies, and the cycle renews itself.

What bothers me about this question is when you say "Black People". It sounds like you're talking about the Black Race period. And, who are you to define what trashy dressing looks like?.It's a lot of fat white women that wear the same type clothing, Why didn't you mention them?.You have more Whites killing their kids and whole family than blacks would ever dream. The killings started years ago by whites that killed blacks for sport, So please don't talk about violence. It's good and bad in every race, And, you are a racist to ask the question and your statements are proof of that. God created us all in His image. Only people that think they are better than the next person is really the trash and ghetto..

Ive seen lots of ppl in school that u can consider ghetto blacks and they always think they are the best and u know what I got joked by one and I just give that ***_a a good beating. Next time I saw him u wasnt like the way he wad anymore. So the best way to teach then to be more civilized is to show them that they arent better then anyone else.
