A good friend of mine in Arizona and his wife were from there. He thanked the Army for getting him out to begin with and swore that the "street culture" that was then just developing, was the single greatest danger to Black America by creating an entirely separate world. He now points to Hip Hop and Rap as fulfillments of his prediction.
I wish others would see his point.
Oh c'mon now, we all know that the problems in, ahem, urban America stem from white racism and a lack of sufficient affirmative action programs.
