NPR commentator Juan Williams has penned a provocative piece in the Washington Post: Banish the Bling: A Culture of Failure Taints Black America.
"Have we taken our eyes off the prize? The civil rights movement continues, but the struggle today is not so much in the streets as in the home -- and with our children. If systemic racism remains a reality, there is also a far more sinister obstacle facing African American young people today: a culture steeped in bitterness and nihilism, a culture that is a virtual blueprint for failure."
