With Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and the drive by hustlers in the headlines, I think they have a point. Black America's problem is not one government will be able to fix. They are largely self-created. Whether that gets the critics off the Black Community's back remains to be seen. With progress and equality also comes a sense of responsibility rather than blaming everything that goes wrong in this country on Da Man.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus

I agre that the first step is a real self reflection on the part of the black community to exorcise the internal demons from their midst.All you have to do is go to MYspace,type in a ghetto school,and see how pathetic the state of young black America is today.
Yet there is a flip side to the issue.There ARE segments of whites in this country who are true haters.All you have to do is go to the rants and raves sections on craigslist to see these idiots in full effect.
Things are much better than when I was growing up in the Sixties and had to listen to drunk uncles yapping about"niggers and Jews ruining America".Yet those feelings still linger but are not nearly as vocal as they were when I was growing up.
