Go, frat!
I think Bill has earned the right to speak his mind, especially at his age and his station in life. As mentioned before, Bill grew up in the projects of North Philly (not far from where my mom grew up!) and he has worked hard to achieve and make something of himself. His question as to why many of our folks can't do the same is valid.
One of the negatives of intergration is that we (Black folks) are scattered everywhere and we really don't have media outlets for just us. So anything that needs to be said to Black folks must be said in a public forum where everyone who is interested can listen therefore much dirty laundry will be exposed.
We need to stop trying to hide the dirty laundry in the corner. Instead, we need to wash it!
