So what is your solution? More of the same? More money? We have been throwing an ever larger amount of money at this problem since Johnson days and it has only gotten worse. We have thrown an ever larger amount at eductaion - your solution - and it has only gotten worse. There is real and awful racism in America - you can see it here as some of the comments are dripping with it! But as awful as that racism is, I think it is only getting worse - because you can't deny that many people here think of young blacks as thugs AND the prisons are ever full of young black men. The fact that our prisons are full of young black men and that many young black women are having babies as single parents isn't racism koan - IT IS FACT. .............Trying to find a different way forward for them, isn't racism, it is hope for a better way. A better America.
