As usual Walter is right on the mark
From my observations, the prevailing black culture is dysfunctional, self-defeating, and de-motivating in two important areas:
1) A kind of self-loathing/self-hatred/self rejection causes family relationships to be harsh and cruel, especially with their children, but also between husband and wife. The self rejection and harsh treatment growing up may have a lot to do with a lack of motivation.
2) An attitude of self-pity and resentment that someone owes them a living and if something goes wrong, why doesn’t somebody fix it for me. Obama encourages this dysfunction because it, like all dysfunction, plays very well into his dysfunctional dictatorial and totalitarian schemes and worldview. A kind of co-dependent relationship.
Both the self-loathing and self pity are mind-sets. The Right seems to avoid all encounter or discussion about the severe problems in black culture confusing confrontation of a deadly problem with “racism.” But no one is helped by ignoring a cancer. You help by dealing with it. Having a President who has and mollifies those mind sets doesn’t help.
Not all blacks are subject to this culture and many are healthy, thriving people. We’ve seen the emergence of examples of black leaders who reflect healthy values and outlook - people like Supreme Court Justice Thomas and surgeon/politician Ben Carson who the Left hates. The Left and things like BLM don’t want solutions, they want socialist tyranny and government hand-outs which stop when they run out of everyone else’s money.
I believe it’s also true that no known black (or Arab, BTW) government is free and democratic but dictatorial. Obama’s generational predispositions.
The only public figure I’ve heard talk about this political byproduct of race and national origin is Michael Savage. It, again, is a byproduct of a dysfunctional culture.

Two things will bring a turnabout in the black community. One, the gospel of Christ. Two, the renewal of the two-parent nuclear family.
Without both of these, the black community will continue its suicide.
The reality is that the truest victims of all this anti-Police, anti-White, agitation, are the Negro residents of urban America. Millions live in a socially chaotic environment--live in fear--not because the Police are too aggressive; rather because the Police have been systematically persuaded not to do as much as they otherwise would to curb flagrant--and obvious--criminal activity.
The connivance of sociopathic politicians, who seek personal gain at the expense of those they pretend to care about, is one of the most despicable phenomena of the past 70 years. No one with forked tongue patrons like the Clintons & Obamas can afford anything the established bureaucracy has to offer.

Walter had better have a squeaky clean past or his message of responsibility will earn the same reward that Cosby is reaping.
What are we on now, 60 years of spitting into the wind? Waste of time.

God bless Walter Williams, I remember listening to him when he filled-in for Rush Limbaugh way back in the early-mid 1990s, then once I got online about 2002 or so, I could read Walter Williams archives every day.
Walter Williams is a national treasure.
