The Black "Struggle" in America

Most of this is definitely correct, well-written thread!

I would say you are correct, there is basically no excuse to being in a gang or stuff like that, in the US at least, though some people really have no choice, some people have family in the gang, and could get killed for trying to leave. Obviously, they can try relocating with help from government authorities, not sure if it's possible to get some kind of witness protection plan for stuff like that.
