This is indeed polite patter. The basic problem in the black community IS the collapse of the nuclear family. Black leaders had a calf when Pat Moynihan pointed this out. Things have gotten worse, in part because of the "Sporting' Life" l style that has been embraced by so much of both white and black communities.
It is the rare individual who had terrible parents who was able to pull himself up and work toward success.
Every failing in this country can be traced to the decline of the family, discipline, and respect.
And that is NOT a black thing, nor is it a rich/poor thing. It is pervasive. And all this feel goody, self esteem, politically correct b.s., not to mention the willingness for everyone to blame someone else and then sue, will be the death of this country.
