Actually, white liberals are much to blame for the plight of American blacks. Their tactics of race-baiting, fostering racial hatred, buying votes with government handouts, and programs designed to keep this voting block under control serves their purpose while subjugating blacks to a life of degradation.
What's changed? The Park Service no longers gives crowd estimates. Direct result of the 100,000 man march.
Ten years later, and a a white person in the US is still seven times more likely to be assaulted or killed by a black man than a white man, and a black man is 17 times as likely to be assaulted or killed by a black man than a white man. And no, it is not the result of "white racism." It is black society's refusal to take responsibility for itself and join American society.
To assess the value of the MMM, wouldn't you have to analyze the lives of the men who participated, and not men in general, or black men in general? Presumably the event benefited only men who participated, not other men.
This sounds too much like Bill Cosby!
This guy must be an Oreo! An Uncle Tom! It can't be the blacks fault!
African Americans celebrate Web Du Bois, but never followed what he wrote. He said they could do it on their own, together by relying on one another. They had to because "the whites won't ever help blacks".
Blacks are killing blacks. Blacks are impregnating black teens. Blacks are stealing from other blacks. Black men won't support their black children. Black women pick "gangstas" to father their children. Survey says that 90% of black parents think their child will succeed by being a professional athelete.
Is there any mystery here? Is there going to be any change? When? Motivated by what? The "Millions More" March will turn into a call for "reparations", not a call for dedication and self-sacrifice.
When Pitts drops the race based trash he usually writes for rags like the Miami Herald, he can become one of the better writers wielding a pen. If you liked this Pitts' article, try to google up "Tripping Through the Hagen Daz".
Alas, I only know of these two articles by Pitts which rise to this level. What a waste, being able to see and write and then choosing to do so sooooo rarely.

Ah yes, the obligatory race card paragraph.
Lets look at this honestly. Are white people racist? You bet. Every last one of us. We all would prefer to be with people just like us. Are black people racist? Yep. Asians? yep. Hispanics? Yep. So we are all on a level playing field. Everyone's racist against everyone else. (Note that there's nothing right or wrong with this, it's just the way people are)
So. Look for a moment at Asians. They are exposed to the same racism yet they seem to be almost uniformly successful. Why? They work hard, maintain a strong family, don't expect free gifts from anyone, and keep themselves out of trouble. What an astonishing concept. It actually works!
I can similarly point out successful blacks, hispanics, indians, aboriginal Americans, and whites. All have the same things in common. Hard work, strong family, self reliance and self control.
Any one who blames racism for their problems is self-identifying as a lazy loser
The primary goal of the event was to recruit men into the Nation of Islam. They were finally able to reach men that are not in prison. If just 1% of the marchers join his brand of racist islam that pays for more rolls royces and rolexs for the leaders.
Agreed. Plus there is something to be said for putting good habits into practice and having the message reinforced on a regular basis.
Would one day in church 10 years ago solve your marriage problem? Would one lecture from Zig Ziglar ten years ago turn around your failing sales career?
Possible. But most people need constant reinforcement of good principles. They don't get that from the leaders of black community.

Ping.
This would have been a good article for your input (if you weren't suspended).
