...world, however, when there are no jobs. "Why don't they fix the country up so people can work, instead of patching up with this and that and giving us a few dollars?" a ghetto mother wanted to know. Coles himself fully recognizes the hazards of joblessness; lacking the inner controls that people develop only when they work "with skill, pride and hope," idle blacks can easily turn to violence.
