The presidential Bush family also gained some of their riches through slavery. I'm not going to draw any conclusions from this right now.

I think a lot of African Americans are getting a bum deal out of life. Murder and drug dealing are wrong, but society doesn't give them a lot of other realistic options. But this is just feeding into the pessimism that David Brin was complaining about.[0] There is no silver bullet.
