While steering clear of blaming "white men like [you]", or any white people specifically. What glorious utopian past has the African-American community deteriorated from? 300 years of institutionalized slavery, another hundred years of de facto slavery, Jim Crow laws, segregation, red-lining, and systematic discrimination that were only outlawed a generation ago? With not even 50 years of equal protection and opportunity under the law [ laws instituted by whites I hasten to add ], do you really think the disproportionately high levels of poverty and crime plaguing black communites are "largely self-inflicted" problems?




Hell yeah! Preach William, preach!
