To Earl Hutchinson,
Your article ignores the obvious, so you have an impossible time proposing a workable solution to the problem of black dysfunctional behavior in inner-cities. And whether Obama or Cosby mentions it, refers to the problems, you cloud the issue by criticizing them for exaggerating the issue. No, no one is saying that all young black men are irresponsible. But in the cities, too many are. It’s starts with single parent households with no structure on behaviour, and leads to zero interest in learning in the classroom in grade school, by too many young children in the cities. When you blame the “failing public schools” you’re ignoring the personal responsibility of the students. When you blame “job discrimination” you’re ignoring the fact that so many of city kids drop out of school and have only mastered a very low level of intellectual achievement, at a grade school level believe it or not. Why don’t you write an article that proposes solutions to inner-city dysfunctional behavior and the resulting crime and teenage pregnancies, and absentee fathering? Why don’t you? That’s the real elephant in the room that you weirdly ignored in your article, preferring instead to blame people for mentioning the problems.
