Unfortunately, easily refuted by any number of standard-issue-African-American Liberals. You see John, this regrettable behaviour within the African-American Community is the Legacy of Slavery and Racism, and not therefore, the fault of those African-Americans who are actually comitting what this poor deluded oreo-authoress refers to as "crimes."
For white people to attempt to end this wave of illegitimacy and violence would be unthinkable racism. For black people to try and end it by co-operating with the police, even if the police are black, would show an alarming lack of solidarity with the oppressed. Therefore that is also unacceptable.
So John, as night follows day, we must logically conclude that America is stuck with this gruesome prospect of horrible crime and violence within the African-American Community forever. Thank God Sir, for the Democrat Party, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, The Clintons, Senator Byrd, et al.. It was only by studying their work that I was able to make this clear to you.
What hope for the victims of this pathology lies in anything other than tough love balanced by school choice?
