Some Truths About Black Disadvantage

This is an interesting article from a perspective not always taken when discussing racial disadvantages:

"Consider the parable of the paraplegic. A reckless driver runs over a pedestrian, leaving him unable to walk. The driver pays for the pedestrian's treatment and physical therapy, but recovery will require a long, exhausting, and painful effort. The victim is angry. It's not his fault, so why must he face an overwhelming, uphill struggle? But there is no help for it. Although the driver can and must pay, he cannot guarantee success. He cannot make his victim walk again."

I'm not sure we'd be having articles like this if it weren't for people like Bill Cosby take the initiative and voice the opinion first.
