Is Civility Lost In Discussions of Race In America???

I bet this will only be seen by people in Houston. This is the reality of the problems faced by black communities. We will only be able to solve the problem when we truly realize what the problem is. We can make excuses such as poverty, inequality or anything else but the bottom line is that people of any race must, as human beings, start to take responsibility for their own actions. Civility is a word that has been lost in the equation. I heard the best idea today, lets get black conservatives and black liberals together for a conference. We, as blacks, know what the truth of our existence is. I believe we need to come together as  a culture before we can tackle the issues that are associated with race. In other words we need to find out who we are. In my opinion we are much like a dysfunctional family. We both know what's right but we still haven't learned how to vocalize it properly and with respect.
