I can't answer your questions, but this reminded me of something on the editorial page of my paper this morning. I found it on-line at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A59784-2002Dec15.html It's a William Raspberry column about the black community's responsibility regarding the failure of black children. Or something like that. I think it may address your questions in a sideways sort of way or something.
