It's a truism that you begin to live what you always hear. Black youths -- not to mention non-black youths -- need to hear some good news about the inner city. Dr. Hutchinson wants to tell it.
The true reality is that most blacks don't live this kind of [deviant --EBB] existence.
Nearly nine out of ten African-Americans aged 25-29 are high school graduates, and fifteen percent have college degrees. ...
The black high school drop rate is only marginally higher than that of non-blacks. ...
Twenty percent of African-Americans worked in management or the professions. ...
Nearly sixty percent of African-American children under 18 live in a married-couple family.
Also, other government and private studies show that blacks have lower rates of drug, alcohol and tobacco use than young whites.
