Attorney General Eric Holder is right. America is a "nation of cowards" when it comes to discussing race. Holder urged Americans to talk frankly about race. So here goes.
Why are nearly 70% of black children born out of wedlock? The myriad of problems that plague the black community (e.g., poverty, crime, education, etc.) are rooted in the disintegration of the black family. In President Obama, black America now has an excellent model of a seemingly dedicated husband and father. Will the black community now follow his example, take responsibilty and give their children a shot at a brighter future. That would be hope and change that I can believe in.
Somehow I doubt that this is the discussion that Attorney General Holder had in mind.
