Here is what somebody else on this forum private messaged me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I just wanted to give you my personal feelings. First of all I don't think you're misinformed. I have worked among black people for many years. Your insights are actually correct. Many people don't want to talk about this though because it's "touchy." And when you talk about the black community's issues with absentee fathers it requires that someone be held accountable. All of a sudden government knee-jerk legislation doesn't solve the problem and no one knows how to answer it because they aren't grounded in God's word. No one wants to talk about faith-based solutions because then all of a sudden their views on homosexuality and abortion are exposed as wrong. The black community has problems that are unfortunately their own doing. Their community lacks good strong Christian leaders who demand accountability. That particular culture would rather play the blame game and hold resentment toward white people than take the time to look in the mirror.
As an aside, I see a great amount of racism in my line of work but I can't say it's whites, it's blacks who hate white people. No one wants to talk about this either. However, it's a problem and it's not going away. Oh, but that type of racism is "okay" right. This is why I can't stand liberals. Their positions are hypocritical and shortsided. Affirmative Action, diversity scholarships and the like are just another form of racism in God's eyes. Two wrongs don't make a right. Just my two cents there."

I am not pointing fingers at the black community but I think that if we don't radically change our direction we will end up with the same results and ultimately less freedom.
Bill Cosby is a prime example of upper class black. Upper Class and Middle Class blacks are the majority of blacks. Lower Class blacks the one you are speaking of is about 1/3 of all blacks. They are the ones though who are the most vocal. The ones who speak about discrimination and so forth.
You can't say its the lack of church values becuase the majority of blacks are very very into the church. Go to any inner city and the amount of blacks you will see who are involved in the church are extremely high. Go to the South and you'll see a large number of blacks involved in the church.
Affirmative action was simply a band aid program to fix past inequalities. The way to actually fix it is to fix problems from the early education in the POORER communities.
