When you say "stop pitting races and cultures against one another" are you willing to acknowledge the history of redlining, white flight, and other economic forces that have helped drive black communities into poverty? Are you willing to consider long-term reapportionment of wealth to invest in those communities and families?
I suspect those economic forces have a lot more to do with black kids wasting away than rhetoric. Rhetoric isn't what has this kid's mother working three jobs.
