Why, for example, did so many negative forces--high crime, low test scores, family breakdown, joblessness, poverty--worsen for black communities in the years after 1970? The book suggests it was ugly black rhetoric, ensuing white anger and the failures of affirmative action that accelerated pathologies in black communities--not the rise of drug use, or turmoil over the Vietnam War, or changing sexual mores, or a general cynicism about authority, which affected society in general.

But here all we are dealing with is sociopathic behavior that has no real-world resonance...
...there's only so much you can say, and you can't be rational about irrational things like the death of two promising young men. When faced with the reality of death, all the sayings and explanations don't do a thing for the reality of pain and anger...
