There are many reasons but our political enablers attempt to make us think it is all black and white. The Ds want the white and the Rs the black. They like simple solutions for the simple minded.
You think a culture that knows it has many mental health problems but does nothing because some of the richest don't want to spend any money, except on more war, is suspect?
You think the Wall St thieves and that got off scot-free without a day in prison after pillaging our treasury, outsourcing all of our living wage jobs and destroying the economy had nothing to do with the resulting anger in America? Most believe there should have been public trials followed by public hangings based upon the investigations of those such as Matt Taibbi. Instead our clueless Facebook enabled consumer enamored culture see only what they are told by the media and the advertisers that are hired to influence.
You think a Hollywood media that thrives on corrupting America (and especially the most susceptible) with dehumanizing movies and video games plays a small part?
We could all go on with the various reasons above and beyond the B & W.
