Everyone is held responsible for their own problems all day long. But when it comes time to discuss on a macro scale why blacks are doing worse -- its pretty stupid to ignore the history of oppression. After hundreds of years of slavery, you can't expect blacks to "catch up" on a macro scale within 50 years.
People that are white trash often have a white trash culture...that doesn't mean its the end all be all explanation for why they are where they are and how they can get out of it.
Conservatives in America are very committed to think on an individual scale. They point to specific black criminals and point out that racism doesn't fully explain their behavior. They have trouble acknowledging that the environment around groups makes such individuals more likely to occur within that group.
What I'm saying is you guys put the cart before the horse when you argue the culture
causes the gap between black and white performance. The culture sprouted up because of the gap.
