Frankly I was surprised by Clifton Roscoe's letter. He seems to be unaware of all the water that has passed under the bridge regarding attempts to fix inner city black life and the decay of black families. I recently read "Freedom is Not Enough, The Moynihan Report and Americas Struggle over Black Family Life--- from LBJ to Obama", written by James T. Patterson. Someone here suggested it.
Moynihan's report came out around 1965, identifying the sad state of inner city black family life and predicting its' further catastrophic demise in the absence of programs to fix the problem. For the past 55 years bureaucratic elites in government have been unsuccessfully designing and implementing fixes much as suggested by Clifton Roscoe. They have all failed. They will always fail and Bob Woodson understands why and takes an alternative approach. Bob Woodson and the people he attracts to his cause care about the the poor people leading these terrible lives. Government bureaucrats could care less about the people involved. To them it's a job that they get paid to do and another step towards a comfortable civil service retirement.
I support Bob Woodson figuratively and financially. We all should.
