Recalling when strong, two parent families were the norm for blacks, when hard work and merit allowed blacks to rise in society, and when homicide wasnt the major cause of the death for young black males, Golden said with genuine regret, Isnt it a shame that for most of black people, the good old days were the days when things were segregated legally in this country?

So this is what it takes to be the guy Limbaugh points to when he wants to claim he isn't racist.

Their thinking is so simplistic. The family structure has changed for everyone, so that's irrelevant. Or they insist blacks feel the same and would prefer not to be around whites. If that were the case, why the push towards de-segregation? They then start invoking Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton.
