There are many "white folks" completely removed from the ghetto scene who might infer that the story of Baby Love depicts a typical inner-city black youth.

Mr. Cudjoe claims that Gershman and Klitgaard simply perpetrate "another ideological onslaught ... against Black America, the activities of the Ku Klux Klan being the more vulgar manifestation of the same phenomenon."
