There's obvious truth to both statements. And if both the white and black communities don't realize (and act upon) the fact that both have contributed (and continue to contribute) to the problems in our inner cities, we'll have to remain satisfied with the status quo. Blaming the other guy exclusively will get us nowhere. It just builds resentment and a sense of moral superiority to the other guy.
