It is the breakdown of the family, and all that crap coming out of Hollywood that glorifies this gangsta mentality.
I have two 19 year old sons who I could not be more proud of. It took a lot of work and time to raise them. Twelve years going through the Boy Scout program with them as a leader, dragging them to church on Sundays, showing them how to treat their mom and all women with respect.
That is how most dads used to do it, but it seems to be a dying art.
