What would happen if this was the national dialogue? What could happen if it was clear to all that it is wretchedly dangerous to be a young black man around other young men, and has been for some time ... could it be changed?
Too some degree poverty accounts for the statistics, thus we speculate about why there is poverty - but fatherless children is a formula for poverty, so we can get into "poverty-fatherlessness-education-fatherlessness-violent culture" reinforcing loops very quickly. What breaks a cycle like that?
Is there some level of basic human competence below which no one can help a person to have a reasonably good life? How does anyone develop that basic level of human life competence?
What could be done to help those caught in a cycle of incompetence to break loose? We know there are good people caught in horrible situations. It may not be possible to save everyone, could an option be finding ways to save a few?
There will be no answers soon, but I wonder whether the circumstance wouldn't shift if articles like the one above were part of the daily spew.
