I was born and raised in Phenix City, Alabama. My father did not graduate from high school and spent 30 years in the U.S. army. My mother was a maid and a teacher's assistant. I am married to a black man. I know many black law professors who were born and raised in the south. And for the record, Maryland is part of the south. But more importantly, your point is simply not supported by the facts. There are certainly blacks born and raised in the south who do not represent anything I am about -- you and Clarence Thomas, for example. In fact, no one in my entire southern family and circle of friends shares these conservative views. I am a black law professor who teaches at American University Washington

I would loved to have criticised you for not providing the solution to this dilemma, but then I looked around to the brown and white communities at their "elites". It seems our culture is doomed to be brought down by the baser thoughts rather than raised up by those which elevate. I don't have the solution either. Unfortunately, this can lead an individual into a smaller private world. Respectfully, Mike Brown Dear Mr. Twyman:
