While gymfig may have cut off the comment. I'm the one that said "disintegrating". Perhaps it is an exaggeration. I certainly hope so. But in some parts of the country, black men have 50% unemployment, college grad rates of black men are decreasing dramatically, the percentage of Blacks marrying is dropping dramatically, blacks placed in prison for petty crimes is increasing, offsprings of middle class blacks are increasingly falling behind; college educated blacks are finding it increasingly difficult to find gainful employment, in states where affirmative action has been abolished blacks pursuing college degrees has been cut in half. Community organizations supporting Black communities are finding it increasingly difficult to secure funds needed for operation. I could cite other factors, but if it is not disintegrating, I think something bad is definitively happening to us and no has yet figured out how to stop it.
