[lbo-talk] Roland Fryer's latest exercise in victim blaming

[Auguste Blanqui]

It's basically a redressing of the
culture-of-poverty/tangle-of-poverty thesis, complete with a
ridiculous zero-sum choice between "community" loyalty investment vs.
productive "human capital investment."   His views of destructive
community behavior (esp. for Af-Ams) is based on citations to mostly
old urban ethnographies (and his own beliefs), though at least the
ethnographers had the decency to throw in something about
macro-structural change being responsible for allegedly pathological
behavior.
