His message to young blacks: Follow a few rules and "there's almost no chance of being poor." Stay in school. Stay in the work force. Don't have a baby out of wedlock. Don't get married until your 20s.

Amazing how many folks fail to see the obvious.

Shelby Steele, whom I recently heard speak, claimed that marriage is a disappearing institution among inner city blacks.

Of course he's right and so are you. I am a public high school teacher at a school with about 20% minority students. About half are Asian and half black. When I come to work at 6:30 AM the halls are filled with Asian kids studying. I don't know why. But I'm sure it's to do with their culture.

Black kids tend to arrive late, without pencil or paper wearing pants belted, if at all, around their groin. So many take on the characteristic of gangdom that it's hard for the adults to know what is fashion and who is really a threat.

Black girls drop out from pregnancy in large numbers graduation rates for both girls and boys are under fifty percent.

Look, this is NOT racism, this is the way it is. Good for Juan Williams that he has the courage to come forward.
