what's wrong with the black community?.. Every time this guy is on CNN he seems to me he is touting right wing talking points concerning the breakdown of black lower middle class communities..
O.k. we get it mr. Handsome Afro-American T.V. star.. But how about solutions which do not consistently use the the words Responsibility and Role Models Maybe how the right wing is trying to destroy inner city poor educational
institutions and programs... You make me sick..

(8,515 posts)The inner schools have been decimated with recent financial cuts that have destroyed most of the after school programs which were safe areas for kids at risks.. You see most parents living in these areas are working probably 2 jobs and cant be home for their children after school leaving them in harms way..
Never heard Bill talk about this... Have you?

Morality (or the lack thereof) isn't the problem.
I get what you are saying.
It's a blame the victim mentality, to a certain extent.
