#1 True of everyone, B6. The problem is how to deal with the culture that results in two of those three boys not acquiring those traits.

#3 HJ, Frank,

I think the real problem is that most of those communities either have no interest or don't know how to make their own members more accountable. I am not black nor did I grow up in a black neighborhood. However, I did grow up near one (the proverbial 8-mile in Detroit). What I observed was a pervasive culture exulting "the thug life" and looking down upon individual educational advancements of other blacks as "going white" or selling out. I saw feckless or absentee father's being tolerated and in many cases given a total free pass along w/massive out of wedlock births (about 70% of black children in the U.S. according to some reports). Yep, not much future. IMHO, their best hope of getting ahead is truly pulling together and realizing big govt ain't gonna help them vice slapping high-fives and calling each other "dog."

#4 I grew up around blacks before welfare and they were poor, but so were lots of white people.

Welfare destroyed the black family. It was a Democrat effort to put blacks back on the plantation and it succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. Maybe blacks will start to climb out of the hole they've been thrown in this November in Maryland.

#5 BH6 - much more articulate than my point, but I agree wholeheartedly

#6 The destruction of the black family is the key issue in the black community today. Only no one will talk about it. No one will point a finger at black men who father children and take no responsibility for them. No one will point a finger at black women who tolerate/enable this behavior. It is all about personal responsibility, something that the dems and great society told the black community they did not have to have.

#7 their individuality obscured by the narrow images that linger in the minds of others.

Nope, it's in their own minds. Their own culture that tells them they are failures before they start.

And the mentioned lack of family nurture. There is no pride in being a bastard with no identity and a welfare inheritence. The sperm deserts you, what good can you be? The culture is their own oppression and doing a lot more destruction that anyone outside could do. But abandonning the "style" would be a sell-out to the "man". Much like muslims abandonning the violence and death cult of Islam. It's what they do and yet, it's everyone else's fault.
