I guess Dr Huxtable's comments could apply here too

He is directly speaking to "African Americans" in the article, but I think it has some use here as well. Towards the end he mentions that the time for blaming the white man is over... Somehting many have commented on and argued on this very forum. That is most likely the point that he is trying to make. Responsibility for your own actions, the actions of your family members and those in your neighbourhood. Holding each one of us up to a higher standard will improve conditions for everyone.

The language issue was just the first paragraph of the article, and one that some have not read past on the opening post...

@chiskop: I am very interested in this debate but we are derailing I think. Shall we start a thread for this discussion and maybe just link from here?

Seriously. Since when do Americans speak English?

Oh I don't know, since the place was settled by Brits leaving that dumpy little island!

Nice try on a joke buddy.

Me too. I didn't realise that we had to discuss all the prescribed pars of the OP for fear of being accused of derailing the thread for only discusing the parts we're interested in.
