But you are ignoring the elephant in the room. Even with so called suburban opportunities brothas still be on that bullshh.
Black Americans in suburban opportunities still perform worse then their peers and that's cultural. Again black male culture isn't defined by educational pursuit.
It isn't defined by anything that resembles wanting to become a family man.
Black manhood is defined by hoe crushin and head bustin. That's what makes you a "real ngga". Suburban blacks americans especially males fall victim to same ignorant cultural behaviors as poorer ones because usually their family is only one generation removed.
This is going to be a long response.
As I said before, this idea that suburban black males are widely engaging in destructive hood behavior is false. Yeah, a lot of them might be doing harmless illegal things like smoking weed, but white kids in the suburbs smoke weed and use drugs at the same rate as blacks. Black kids in the suburbs are not engaging in anything similar to what Chief Keef and his boys are doing.
The short explanation when it comes to black people performing worse in school is: its complicated. Tracking, counselors guiding black kids to easy classes, teacher prejudice (even if its inadvertent), stereotype threat, and wrongly labeling black students as having learning disabilities all account for black students performing worse. That gap is closing though, and many of the top high schools in the nation have diverse student bodies and high black populations.
As you even just said, a lot of black people are only one or two generations removed from poverty. Schools were desegregated less than 60 years ago, breh. Black people were excluded from the best schools for hundreds of years but you expect them to catch up in such a short amount of time? Plus, research is showing that segregation levels are almost as bad as they were before Brown v. Board, so that is something else to consider.
This is just my opinion but I think young males in general today see manhood as getting girls and being hyper-masculine. I've never heard any teenager, whether white, black, or green, try to prove his masculinity by saying he wants to become a "family man." I think that has more to do with age than race.
This is a complicated topic and blaming culture alone shows that you aren't taking everything into account. Accomplished professors, researchers, and sociologists agree that blaming a culture for many of its members living in poverty/violence is incorrect and ignores the bigger picture.
