True, that's a whole new subject of debate that goes back to the eternal nature vs nurture.
Opportunity, economics etc all play a role however there are also genetics involved.
There is a lot of evidence for differences in impulse control. Reaction to good/bad news i.e. funeral behavior, reunions etc with the screaming and flopping around on the ground. Acts of bravery where blacks will run into a burning building to rescue someone at a higher percentage than whites. Or in your sports, black quarterbacks will find an excuse to scramble/run the ball themselves, especially if the line of scrimmage is within 15 yards of the goal line.
Yes I have lots of friends but they clutch their wallets too in the old neighborhoods. I grew up in St Louis so I was around it a lot. I saw both sides. There is good and bad on both sides but the bad was a lot worse in some areas. I'd rather be broke down in South St Louis where the family was prominent than East St Louis.
FWIW, The Ferguson shooting was the street that was in front of the last apartment I lived in. My pens and pencils are in a Northwinds Apartments coffee cup on Canfield/Caddyfield. The shop he stole from used to be a 7/11 I used to have the high score on their Defender video arcade game. It was a rough neighborhood and about 80% black. Now probably 99% and a lot rougher.
