It does not help that America has had decades of Jerry Springer, WWE and Fox News and Duck Dumbnasty.
Now mind you I am not against blasphemy or offending others. But what we are talking about is climate overall. I listen to Metallica "Seek And Destroy" which, in all honesty was nothing more than a thrash song written to appeal to teen angst. But at the same time, as troubled as I was having a single mother in my teens, I didn't go on killing sprees like Dillion Roof.
The failure to reduce poverty and violence, white or black, ultimately has to do with pay gap. If parents, urban, suburban or rural, cant pay their bills, or be home for their kids, violence will be the bane of ignoring the pay gap.
It isn't just the NBA, or any sport. It is America's failure to address our pay gap, and cost of living gap, no matter urban, suburban or rural.
