Blacks Need Better Role Models?

A new report says that young black people need to find better role models, as all too often the best they have are rappers who glorify violence and the gun culture.

I don't disagree with this, but the report also suggests that poverty is to blame. Aside from the fact that blacks in these ghetto-like areas seem to do very little to make life easier for themselves, money isn't the real problem. The problem is the breakdown of the family unit within their society. The amount of single parents and teenage pregnancies is soaring. These traditional values used to be a big part of the black community and it is not surprising that when they are in decline, the society is, too.
