What the heck can civil rights advocates do except tell black men to quit committing crimes?
They can lead by example. They can deride those who would seek shelter in the "I'm a victim of racism" defense. They could get up in front of cameras and microphones and tell all blacks all over the country that a real man takes care of his family, has no use for drugs, and is a productive member of society. Black leaders could be very effective. Obviously, we've seen what not to do...
