New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin’s police force can’t police, so he called in state troopers and the National Guard. The spate of crime in the Big Easy has been in majority-black communities. Nagin waxed sentimentally about bringing back a “chocolate” New Orleans earlier this year. I doubt this is what he had in mind, though. Let the good times roll…
Today we learn that the police in Jackson, Mississippi, can’t police, either. Mayor Frank Melton declared a state of emergency and seeks to impose earlier curfews on minors. Jackson, by the way, is an overwhelmingly black city, so don’t cramp your brains trying to figure out who’s committing crimes.
To hear some people tell it, enslaved forefathers, Jim Crow (that their great-grandparents lived through), “institutional racism,” dirty looks from bigots, and too few federal dollars for government schools are the reasons why black youth are out of control, along with the out-of-wedlock birth rate.
No fathers at home to head families physically and spiritually, instill discipline, teach children to be honorable men and women, and to convey the importance of decent living has nothing to do with it, I suppose. 
Update (6/23): Read about the biological importance of biological fathers. It seems that God knew what he was doing after all when he decreed the marital union and units of biologically related people.
