Good read.
And I am impressed Leonord Pitts can write a whole article without blaming Bush for the plight of blacks.
he did.... just put in "the man" or "the courts and the cops".... it's all the same.
The only way that the "black man" is going to "rise up"... is if he stops seeing himself or limiting himself by being a "black man". He needs to rise above that and EDUCATE HIMSELF and HIS CHILDREN. That is the only choice he has. This country honors hard work. No "program" will lift up anybody. Only work, struggle and living the "right" way without drugs, alcohol, illegitimate children, laziness and dependence on the plantation owners of the Democratic/Rainbow Coalition or the government tit will set them free.
