Two things here. African American culture is Carolina culture, why should it be shoehorned in like it is something totally different? Just because some people are unfamiliar with it, does not mean it does not exist.
Your first statement is subjective. It largely becomes a problem based on who is involved and who is looking. A group of white kids fighting at the park, at school, or at the mall may be seen as a small disruption, 'teens will be teens'. But when kids of color do it, it is a riot, a gang war, and people start throwing the term thug around like there is no tomorrow.

“If too many problems happen at the park, many families of any kind will stop going because they feel unsafe.”
However I would love to see African American culture highlighted but how would you tie that to the Carolinas?
