I think it's time for blacks to admit they have a problem and the usual solution of throwing more of my money at it won't fix it. Blacks need to clean up their own act. Over 70% are raised without a father present, most see little payback to education or hard work because they have no one present to use as a yardstick. Cosby, Sowell, and other blacks have addressed this problem publicly, but the black community won't accept any portion of the responsibility for their situation. Until whites see an effort by the leaders of the black community to clean up their own house, I see little reason to expect any change in perceptions that blacks present to whites.

I had an experience managing a business that was located in a mostly black part of town. I grew to hate the job. I was convinced these people were all incredibly bigoted black racists. If somebody had a problem and a white guy came out to try and address it for them it was katy-bar-the-door.

But after some time there I grew to realize that it wasn’t everybody. It was a hard-core group of 25 or 30 idiots who kept coming in all the time.
