          How is this wild why can't there be multiple reasons for a problem? At some point the parents are at fault just as much as the system is

          Amen! Personal accountability, strong moral and community values needs to exist. The youth of today is consuming too much garbage. Garbage food, garbage values and intellectual garbage on the gram and Snapchat!

          That really takes away from single moms too. I've known lots of very successful well rounded people raised by strong women on their own.

          Is there a link to watch entire interview - want to be clear on his answer. Why can’t both be true? 1. It starts at home. 2. The prison system needs to fixed. Also, why are people so opposed to factoring in personal responsibility into the discussion?

          Folks are big on personal responsibility, merit, & pull yourself up by the bootstraps, AFTER they rigged the whole system in their favor and gave themselves a 300 year head start…but carry on😒🙄😐

          You didn’t answer my question. I guess it may have been to challenging for you to articulate an answer with sound reasoning.....but carry on 😒🙄😐

          What's wrong with his statement @ShaunKing instead of saying "this is wild." Didn't you just use the "N" word and for what that's my question to you.

          @tanehisicoates has a wonderful article, "This is How We Lost to the White Man" originally published in 2008, and reinvigorate with context more recently. He outlines this very ideology and how Denzel, like Cosby, engages in a form of Black conservatism reminiscent of H Garvey.pic.twitter.com/v5rJmLV0s1
