What you describe seems to be a reflection of the display of absence of respect for whites that some blacks, especially among the young, began to display openly as the movement for equality gained momentum in the ’60s. Repressed anger and the reality that the achievement of equality under the law did not bring the promised land to all blacks also seem to be playing a role. The absence of strong parental guidance for many black youths, teaching by some that ‘black pride’ means having the right or obligation to denigrate non-blacks, unusually negative peer pressure and the temptations of ‘the street’ all seem to play a role. The question that haunts us now: What, if anything, can non-blacks do to help alienated black youths find a happier place in our society?
