I don't think it's all about the culture. I grew up with three black kids who were the only black kids in our school system. Their father was Jamaican and mother was white. Father was a hard worker who worked his butt off to pay for his kids' education and well being. Kids were raised with great values, morals and manners. After college 2 out of the 3 were "ebonicized" (if that's a word). They came back calling their mom a cracker, did more drugs than you can shake a stick at, mis-pronounced more words than Mike tyson and treated people in general (and women specifically) like shit. The third was always suspected of being gay in the first place and he came back from college the same way. Don't know if the gay thing had anything to do with it or not.

Anyway, yes, the culture of college affected them BUT, now that it's 13-15 years later they STILL talk trash like that, have done NOTHING with their lives (while their brother makes close to 6 figures) and have gotten into lots of trouble and still act like ghetto gansters in an area with maybe 4 black families (the population rose). So, culture sure as hell didn't keep them that way, did it?
