Hey, I'm black and I like bitcoin.  I live in Iowa so I've never really been in touch with the urban culture, but I think the problem is just education.  Public schooling is a terrible socialist idea that has done a lot of damage to the education level of a lot of kids in the cities.  Theres a reason our founding fathers like Thomas Jefferson were so opposed to government schooling.

Bitcoin can be a tough concept to understand when you are used to cash and haven't really been taught about economics.  I'm glad I was homeschooled instead, I went to public school for a few months and it was one of the worst things that ever happened to me.
