I read it. No mention of why if you are black you arte more likely to live in the ghetto. No mention of why you are more likely to be incarcerated. No mention of personal responsibility.
I have no education past high school, I have been a drug dealer (dozen years ago) and a pimp. I applied myself and gave some thought to my personal destiny and at my mid thirties, I have a good career and a great life. No silver spoon here even if my skin is white.
The only thing holding the ghetto back is a sharp dose of “Holy Crap, do I want to live like that?” On the other hand the government could go broke giving away money and not change anything.
Just a guess, but I'm perrrrty sure there was a tacit understanding that it was the White Man's fault. (if not George Bush, specifically).
