[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]As a white male, I ask this of black people -

1.  Can we teach your children?
2.  Do you feel a moral responsibility to help your brothers and sisters living in high-crime, high-poverty areas?
3.  What exactly do you want from whites?  (b/c we can't seem to get it right)
4.  For the many of you with degrees and nice cars and homes and quite possibly private school for your kids - do you feel connected to AAs who aren't as fortunate?  (I can tell you that many of the AAs I know in that category have told me that they chose living in Area A and sending their kids to Private School B in order to keep them away from any negative influences.)

I am certain these are questions that have been raised before, but I don't believe they've ever been directly addressed in a civil manner.[/quote]

I am not black but I can tell you right off that you won't get a single answer because black people are no more monolithic than white people. That's like asking white people if they like smoked salmon. Some do, some don't, some can take it or leave it. The social strata of black Washingtonians alone would take a fairly long book to document, not to mention their answers to your questions. It is important to begin seeing people as individuals, not members of groups.
