I am willing to help work on the racial inequalities in the criminal justice system.  So what are you willing to do to address the high violent crime rate in the black culture other than to blame it on white people?

What is "black culture" and where does it come from? 

Also, I am wondering in what sense you are using the word "culture" here. 

I'm thinking if there is such a thing as "black culture" in the U.S., it ought to include black conservatism, the novels of Ralph Ellison and Toni Morrison, social analyses of W. E.B. DuBois, chain gang songs, jazz and church spirituals, along with the movies of Spike Lee.
