I don't think anyone truly believes that only one factor would be at play, rather a multitude of factors (including the ones you mentioned) all combining together to have a massive hand in the progression, or lack thereof, of black culture/lifestyle.

Maybe but people are quick to try to point to outside forces.
This country talks about police brutality and poverty and systemic racism, but never about that huge elephant in the room holding a gun sideways aimed at your face
