Leonard Pitts Jr., the author of this piece.
Leonard Pitts Jr. wants us not to consider blacks as a group when crime is involved. Does he really think there are no cultural aspects to high black crime rates? Does he really want us to not consider blacks as a group when, say, Affirmative Action is the subject? I don't know his position on this, but I know where I'd place my bet, and it would be squarely on hypocrisy for Leonard.
