Indeed so.
Smacks of unvarnished truth and years of actual first person observation. Given all the behavioral mal-adaptations and vastly dispersant value system from the rest of what one would call 'normal' society, is it any wonder these communities are in such a sad state? Yet their community leaders still go around and 'blame whitey' or the 'establishment' for all their ills. From reading this article, I come to the conclusion that the changes needed must largely come from these communities themselves and their leadership.
There were a couple things he said that I wasn't comfortable with, but overall I appreciated his candor.
The biggest one for me was when he said black mothers often pray for acquittal over justice. Ok, in a technical non-involved objective sense, one should hope for justice. But these were mothers, and while I don;t think they were being objective at all, they were being emotional. I don't intellectually agree with it, but I understand it, and am willing to overlook that one, or at least not condemn it as harshly.
