IMO it is less that they idolize thugs than they have nearly perfect racial solidarity enforced by basically exile from your own race for any black that breaks it.

I think this is one thing Whites can learn from blacks and I'll never publicly condemn Whites no matter what they did. But we aren't yet to the point where there is any social benefit to beclowning ourselves defending obviously bad Whites like there is for blacks defending bad blacks so I just keep my mouth shut.
