"But here’s something that white people often forget: the majority of blacks in this country are middle-class, are employed, are sending their kids to college, and have the same aspirations whites do. "

huh???

not according to what I have seen and Welfare statistics. 50% of all younger black males have been to prison, not to college. That's not a good aspiration.

And in a number of states, one can live a middle-class lifestyle on public assistance, or live an upper middle-class lifestyle on an overpaid make-work municipal government job handing out that assistance, like St. Trayvon’s “mom.”

I didn’t say “the majority of young males in the ghetto are middle class.” I mean that the members of the average black family in this country are employed and intend for their kids to go to college. The criminals get media coverage and the hardworking churchgoing families don’t.
