Your basically saying he is a black man but he wasn't poor enough or lived in a bad enough area to validate himself?... Secondly my other point was there are poor black people from the south side who do not join Gangs and come from single family households , they finish High school, and go to college and become successful. It is possible you know. You should probably look at those success stories and find the common element that separates .
... Basically your a sympathizer of people who join Gangs and commit crime..you say its not there fault they drop out of school...the schools they go to are not good enough and don't teach them all the things they can do for there future ... Nobody said that the environment was an easy place for these youth to grow up in and that it would not have its challenges much more than some white kids from the suburbs but its not impossible and it takes a strong family and moral structure from the parents (or parent) to transcend down to the children, which many if not all of these Gang members/criminals do not have! they start off destined for failure without that, no matter how bad are good the school are (based on your opinion). The cycle continues and goes on and on. Wouldn't you think the most important factor is how your parents raise and en-grain personal responsibility/ moral code from your childhood as a pretty damn important factor in how your life will come out?

Obama is half black and was raised by his white mother and her family. It's not exactly an apples to apples comparison. Just because Obama is black and lived/lives in Kenwood doesn't mean he has any personal experience as a poor black youth in crime-ridden urban neighborhoods.
