Dr. Thomas Sowell, senior fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution (a conservative black man) was recently pointing out that the poverty rate for married black couples is exactly the same for white Americans as a whole. While there's still a gap between married white Americans and married black Americans, it's an indication that so much failure is behaviour-driven...just like all of us. We all know the kind of future the children of those men have. So many wasted lives. So many lost souls.
@John Brunner Dr. Sowell's editorials were frequently run in our newspaper. I greatly enjoyed his "slant" on black/white existence. Frank
