Change Starts with the Truth

Mr. Obama, in terms “sharp”, “stark” and “straightforward”, according to the NYT, made remarks about black illegitimacy and absentee fathers that would be difficult for a white candidate to make.

Though we can’t be certain which half of the Senator’s bi-racial ancestry was doing the talking, we’re told his comments were “courageous and important”.

The courageous Mr. Obama might be more credible and convincing had he stood with Bill Cosby, from the inception of his personal crusade. Cosby has been virtually outcast for being so vigorously outspoken.

Yet illegitimacy remains so flagrantly commonplace within (though not exclusive to) the black community as to be socially acceptable while being sociologically suicidal. This is a tragedy. The human cost of this moral squalor is chaos, rapacious violence and disabling hopelessness.

In polite circles (p.c.) this is called blaming the victims. That the truth can’t be told (particularly by whites) is part of this self-perpetuating pathology.
