. . .“failing young African-American men,”. . .
In the media, it's easy to find people claiming that our society is failing one group or owes another. Whether it's black criminals, unwed teen moms, natives, or illegal immigrants, it's only the group that changes, never the claim.
Just for a change, I'd like to see an article outlining what these people owe society. Do they not have any responsibility for their own behaviour, neighbourhood, and circumstances?
But maybe it really is our fault? As de Maistre observed: "Every country has the government it deserves."
Cheers, PW.
P.S. Actually, he said "Toute nation a le gouvernement qu’elle mérite."
