#1 "Theres even a Hip-Hop Initiative at North Carolina Central University. Although it includes scholarly study of this kind of music, which has been around for more than 30 years, long enough to have its own interesting history, the program also uses hip hop to reach out to at risk males."

-You gotta be f'n sh*ttin me. LOL. What a joke.

#2 Long ago SNL's Dan Ackroyd and Jane Curtain did a takeoff on point-counterpoint: Curltain made a point and Ackroyd always led off by saying: "Jane you slut." Rantings and blather of a mad woman.

#3 "...a call for African-Americans to take greater personal responsibility for their lives and especially their childrens education."

#4 Children with two parents who love and care for them do MUCH better than children with one. Children with parents who care about education and make it their utmost priority get better educations than children with parents who don't.
Boys who grow up with hardworking, responsible, capable men as role models learn how to be hardworking, responsible, capable men. Boys who grow up in single-parent households with only gangsters as male role models don't.

Yup. Water will still wet us, fire will still burn. Surprise, surprise.

#5 Children is two parent families don't get the taxpayers to pick up the tab for both baby and momma. Change the financial incentives, change the family structure.
