The fundamental problems is far deeper and it starts with individual responsibility as well as the erosion of black leadership. Until we demand more from ourselves as individuals and collectively, we will continue to have major problems. Until we demand more from black leaders; yes those who choose to represent us when it's beneficial to them to do so, we will continue to have major problems.
Will the death of the B,H and N make a difference, not at all. But what can make a difference is our ACTIONS, not words, not speeches, and not prayer alone. We need to be a people of ACTION.

True shyt right there Dblack! Bytches, Ho3z and Ni99az been around for decades. It's all about the responsibility that WE have to teach our children what's right and what's wrong. That's what black leadership is in it's truest form. Teaching the youth. It doesn't matter what comes out of our tv screens and speakers. We have to combat that false reality with REAL TEACHING.
Our attitudes collectively will never go back to where it was during our struggle for freedom...it's impossible. People who didn't live during those times don't feel that way because we didn't go through it personally. WE SHOULDN'T FORGET however, and we shouldn't forget to teach our children the correct ways to conduct themselves in public and amongst each other. I can't tell you how many times i've been on public transportation on the way to work and have heard young girls(mostly) speaking disrespectful when they're sitting right next to someone's mom or grandma. I mean, I grew up listening to NWA, Too Short, Kool G Rap and we still weren't that disrespectful to the elders. IT STARTS AT HOME...if they don't get it at home it's hopeless.
