If he was truly concerned, he would be devising, and implementing, creative solutions to the problem. But since he has no clue, he cannot do that.
He is embarrassed by the condition, and lashes out against it in such a useless manner, because it believes that will distance himself from it. But it won't. It only makes other people ask, "Why, as a wealthy Black man, do you do nothing for your own people? Are you no better than the so-called Black Leaders?"

I see it as a well-deserved kick in the pants.
He is saying what no one else dares to say. Our society has become paralyzed by PC.
BC has enough fame, and has been well accepted by mainstream society. He doesn't need to distance himself from anything.
