You just identified the problem.

Black families were systematically destroyed through slavery, as were all traditions, norms etc. Do you expect that to spontaneously reappear after hundreds of years with no frame of reference or solid example to follow, while bathing in a cacophony of “no handouts for you!” and “You people are criminals!” and “We owe you nothing!” and “It’s your own fault!”?

His message, and that of Minister Farakhan, are far more widely received and accepted by Black people than any others. The deficient element is the “back to the community” collaboration I mentioned in a previous post, and which is building greater momentum. (FYI: Black people do not have a herd mentality, nor do they give a damn about Sharpton/Jackson/Cosby et al.)
