Black Baby Boomers Drop The Ball
Aaron Hamilton recently said what many others in the mostly
African-American and solidly middle-class Leimert Park district of
South Los Angeles think but won't say:

Omaha is one of the most dangerous cities for black males - very near the top. Our "leaders" have coalesced to deal with the problem and through the "Empowerment Network" and "Omaha 360" funded mainly by well meaning priviliged folks have concluded that the #1 recommendation for dealing with this problem is to pray. As a so-called community leader in the most affected quadrant I'm saying, "Prayin' ain't cuttin' it." Our police chief has concluded that the common thread in the shootings is guns. That's helpful (aarrrggghhhhh!). We need to question our leaders.
