Many people are adamant about making dramatic changes to police culture, to corporate culture, campus culture, sports cultures, to American culture, itself. Any culture they deem problematic or harmful, they will demand that it be completely transformed.

Except ghetto culture.
When it comes to cultural toxicity, you'd be hard-pressed to find anything worse than what exists in America's inner cities. But instead of demanding change of those engaged in it, the blame is placed elsewhere. History, police, white people...
How is it that people are so quick to condemn a Supreme Court nominee as a rapist with no evidence and claim he is a product of a toxic culture that needs to be eradicated but drags their feet in condemning a gang banger who shot a baby and refuse to hold his culture responsible?
There has to be some serious accountability. People need to start looking at how the culture in these communities is contributing to their problems and stop looking and pointing fingers elsewhere.
You can pump as much money into those communities as you possibly can and it won't make a difference. I am telling you, nothing is ever going to change if the culture doesn't change. Period.
