look at the state of affairs in the Inner Cities. Has the system of welfare helped most lower-class BP ascend into the middle class? What are the dropout rates of high schools around the nation? Some are OVER 50%!

Yes, there are successs stories but in urban America, there seems to be more and more problems related to poverty than ever before. I think of "Eyes on the Prize," which I recently revisited (in the top 3 documentaries of all time, IMO). When Robert Kennedy visited the poorest rural parts of the South, the people he spoke to had a dignity and displayed intelligence and decorum that you don't sometimes see within poor areas of America these days. What changed?

It's not bigoted to tell the truth, even if you are a White man talking about Black men. And obviously it's not ALL Black men.
