(ThyBlackMan.com) When inner city violence is mentioned in mainstream media, you always hear bigots like the notorious Bill O’Reily say very bigoted rhetoric to create confusion and division in our community, but you never hear them bring up the systemic factors that causes inner city violence.
Intro: Here are the systemic factors that lead to inner city violence in America.
1. Poverty – Poverty is the mother of crime because it has caused a lot of our youth, particularly young men to engage in a lifestyle that is very destructive that could lead them to either the pen or the morgue. It also causes a lot of our young men in particular to not value other lives in our community by robbing, stealing, slinging rocks (aka selling dope), or killing just to survive the rough impoverished conditions in the inner city communities.
2. Lack Of Job Opportunities – One of the main reasons why inner city men are the most unemployed group of people in this country is not by accident, it’s by systemic design because of the racially motivated laws they passed to ship the jobs from inner city 
communities to overseas. The System can’t stand seeing brothers being real successes in anything outside mainstream sports and entertainment in this country.
communities to overseas. The System can’t stand seeing brothers being real successes in anything outside mainstream sports and entertainment in this country.3. Poor Housing – Because of the lack of equal housing and the overpriced mortgage rates that often force a lot of us out of our homes, we can’t get the same access to better housing like the suburban people would get. And that is also by systemic design.
4. Poor Inner City Educational System – Inner Cities across the country are greatly suffering from very poor educational system because of the educational reform laws that are passed to ensure that they remain at the top and we remain at the bottom in terms of educational resources. There are also many inner city schools across the country that also suffer from a lack of funding in terms of remodelization.
5. Corporate Sponsored Bastardized Urban Music – Excerpt from a previous article I wrote: “When these big racist corporations like Clear Channel and Cox are force feeding this mindless poison on to our kids, particularly our young boys every single day, they are brainwashing them to act and think in a certain way that is consistent with negative stereotypes they like to portray of us. They wouldn’t psychologically sprinkle that poison on their kids, but they’ll do it to our kids in a minute.
“The seven ways in which young inner city men in particular are psychologically poisoned by this corporate sponsored bastardized urban music that is constantly played on corporate radio stations everyday is
1) To stay high and drunk as much as possible.2) Cannot under any circumstances respect women, particularly the sisters.3) Go out and shoot another brother.4) Engage in criminal activity like slinging rocks (aka selling crack) on the corner to make it “cool” to go to The Pen.5) Have sex with every woman that approaches from within 50 feet.6) Engage in conspicuous consumption.7) Lie to people about what you did in your past and lie about your lifestyle.”
6. Self-Hate – The self-hate in our community is very real because I have not only seen it up close, but I have also seen it on social media where brothers and sisters are spewing so much animosity and venom towards one another and when that happens. Even those who grew up in poverty are psychologically trained by mainstream media and corporate sponsored bastardized urban music to not value the lives of other brothers and sisters in the inner city community.
7. Guns and Drugs – The War On Drugs and Mass Incarceration in my view are the two biggest systemic factors that have basically obliterated our community and family structure at least over the past few decades. The reason why The System deliberately put the guns and drugs in our community was to basically crush our self-esteem as well as destabilize our family structure by getting us hooked on the drugs, incarcerated on drugs, getting us killed in drug related violence, and giving brothers egregious sentences for possession of small amounts of drugs.
The Conclusion – With the rising awareness level in our community these days, it’s happy for me to see many real educated intellectual brothers and sisters taking a stand against these systemic agendas that have greatly harmed our community over the past few decades.
