Shoot the Messenger is brilliant as it reveals the reality of Black people,s situation and how blacks sometimes frustrate the efforts of fellow blacks. If it has generated so much controversy and been called Racist then I guess The Curse of Being Black in Bitain which I will publish soon will end with people calling for my head on a platter of Gold especially as I am a Black man writing about some of the ills within black communities in the UK.

The first time I was in Britian I saw that show Babyfava - Babyfather. I thought American T.V. was the only lowbrow stuff out there. Apparently not you guys are just as low.

Yikes.

In the US, I believe William Raspberry and/or Thomas Sowell (both black Op-Ed writers) have made similar arguments as well.

"The idea that boys need positive male role models does not strike me as a particularly right-wing one, yet when the point was made (by a black man whose name I've forgotten) about ten years ago" It might be the educationist (then Dr, now Prof.) Tony Sewell, who's been pushing this argument for years (correctly IMHO). He writes in the Voice newspsper. There's a Guardian piece here that's relevant. http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,3604,1001151,00.html
