(9,350 posts)I realize the author of that post is being a little sarcastic, but the things in this article needs to be said more. Especially the stuff about white politicians not lecturing, or being asked to lecture white youth about the errors of their ways. For a few months I have been thinking President Obama should go talk to black young men about violence in the black community when Newt Gringrich, or some other white politician goes to talk to white youth about violence in the white community. I have also thought, President Clinton was applauded for going into the black community and chastising black men for their violent actions; can anyone imagine the outrage if President Obama had the audacity to go before a group of white men a chastise them for their violent behavior. If there were not riots there would be extreme outrage.
