Our white ancestors are the reason that these blacks behave in this way. I expect that white people in similar economic/social situations would behave in the same way. Luckily for us, white history/lineage usually means this isn't the case.

Close, but not quite. Our white ancestors are mostly responsible for the socioeconomic classes that we have today. The connection between certain people's behavior and their socioeconomic class is much looser. I grew up in an area comprised mostly of poor to lower-middle class blacks and yes, many of them (a majority) fit into the category described by insomniasexx but there were also many who did not.
