I truly believe it's genetic.....it's not just a cultural thing. Because all over the world, not just america, wherever there are blacks, there is astronomical crime and violence. Other races must take great measures to protect themselves.

Over half of the black population resided in the cities numerous housing projects. The city is divided up into sections called wards just about every ward of the city contains housing projects. You may have heard of a few. Calliope, St. Bernard, Desire, St. Thomas, Iberville ect. Many of the residence of these projects will tattoo the initials and the ward on their shoulder signifying where they live, for example a resident of Calliope project will have the tattoo CP3, Calliope Project third ward. Most of the shootings and murders in New Orleans comes from rival gangs from the various projects infringing upon each others turf. After Katrina members of Los Angeles gangs such as the "Bloods" tried to establish themselves in New Orleans, and the kids from New Orleans killed them. It's about turf, money and respect. That's why wherever you have a large congregation of blacks living in an area you'll have crime predominately amongst themselves. It's simply their nature.
