Must Read Piece by Bob Herbert (Seriously)

You won't often see the RC link to a piece by Bob Herbert from the NY Times. However, today, we are doing just that. You need to read this. It's about the plight of young, black males and what Herbert thinks needs to be done. And if you don't finish nodding your head and wanting to shout "Amen" and possibly grab a flag and man the barricades then something is wrong for you.

This is the kind of issue that any decent person, conservative, liberal, whatever, ought to care about deeply. If we have any chance of maintaining a civil society, these are the kind of problems that need to be addressed, and these are the kind of changes that need to be made. If we can't all agree on this, then we are quite possibly doomed.
