"Excellence" is considered a treasonous crime? Perhaps a factor in 50% black youth unemployment? But the earth shattering assumption is that Excellence is synonymous with the practice of Whiteness! They should fire that college professor!Glazer thinks it is possible that for some young black men, "acting white" -- trying to excel in school -- is considered "a betrayal of their group culture."

Maybe assuaging white guilt by throwing money at social welfare programs is somehow counter-productive?
(Isn't it amazing that Glenn Beck didn't have anything to do with this?)
/edit!
This entire post up to here is SARCASM! I'm adding this edit comment because I suspect that fully 90% of you won't GET IT! The plight of blacks in today's society is nothing short of a travesty. My point is that nearly 50 years of Great Society welfare policy has created a hell on earth for blacks in America. You all know the definition of Insanity is to keep doing the same thing while expecting different results. It's time to try something new, like nuclear family structures, responsibility, and maturity.
