What's Really Holding Black Kids Back
There's a great piece by Kay Hymovitz in City Journal: "What’s Holding Black Kids Back?" (thanks to Logical Meme).
[Bill Cosby's recent] blunt talk seemed a refreshing tonic to the sense that the standard bromides about the inner city’s troubles weren’t getting blacks very far. Forty years after the War on Poverty began, about 30 percent of black children are still living in poverty.
Hymovitz proceeds to lay out some very startling research on why this is so.
Definitely a must-read.
