Focusing on the irrelevant at the expense of the essential

by Jeff OBryant

In A dangerous detour John McWhorter presents an excellent commentary on the current Imus tizzy. He correctly points out that some African Americans focus on what can’t be solved at the expense of working towards remedying “big, chronic problems” that can be solved. True, Imus’ comments were out of line. But I’m far less concerned about what a radio shock jock says than I am about the truly serious issues that face so many American communities of any color or creed.
