It’s all a softening up of the people prior to discussing reparation payment for Afro Americans.

When 7-out-of-10 black babies are born to single women and more than half of black children spend most of their childhood without a father at home, there are consequences: lower academic performance, more juvenile delinquency and adult crime, more dependence on government assistance, and a greater likelihood to repeat the cycle again by having more children born out of wedlock to the next generation.

It's worse even than that - for the last several decades, about 58% of all black births were to black mothers with IQs in the lower 50% of the black IQ bell curve distribution.

I.e. the [genetic aspect of the] problem is getting worse [and it's quite possible that the worsening is even accelerating].

Linda Chavez nails it and the sad realities she lists in her column should be brought up, without apology, whenever we get the 'White racism oppresses Blacks' routine from folks like Eric Holder, a very successful, well-connected Black man who now deems it his job to lecture Americans about race, as if we haven't been talking about race for almost 50 years, now.

Black family disintegration has been going on for decades and yet, other than an occasion tongue-clucking from Black 'leaders' and leftist Whites and some unappreciated attempts by Bill Cosby to raise the issue, Blacks don't want to talk about it. Who are the 'cowards', now, Mr. Holder?

There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs—partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs… There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who do not want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public. -Booker T. Washington

Yet virtually no one in the black community in any position of authority and responsibility is willing to talk about this issue.

Bill Cosby has spoken out about that very subject. But he is a voice in the wilderness it seems.

“The elephant in the room in discussions of race isn’t white prejudice; it’s the breakdown of the black family and all the attendant social pathologies that emanate from it.”

But if a white person says that, they are labeled a racist and all discussion stops. And if a black person says it, they are called an Uncle Tom, and all discussion stops.

Sometimes in a dispute, one side is much more at fault than the other.

I'll tell you who's a coward. A coward is someone who calls me a coward and chooses not to face me when he does it.

Bring it, Eric. We'll see who the coward is
