CUNY's Black Male Initiative Is Probed

Submitted by Patrick McArthur, Feb 6, 2008 10:47

Assimilation has always been the key to sucess in this country, and rightfully so. The fragmentation of our society by racism and other forms of hatred does us all harm. Americans of many races and histories work together every day to propel this nation foward. This Black Male Initiative is counterproductive, polemic, destructive. A little more emphasis on the good of the whole, and a little less on percieved victimhood would allow for some progress in racial relations in our country.
