re: "Stop blaming black parents for underachieving kids"

What a load of BS. The black man who cleans my wife's office has five children and every one of them are college educated and beyond. One is fixing to graduate from medical school. Why? Because he, as a parent, valued education and made sure his kids didn't end up with the wrong crowd. He laments, sometimes to the point of tears, to my wife everyday about the state of the black family and how it's virtually non-existent in some places and how "keepin' it real" is more important that growing up and prospering.
