Over the past week I read Juan Williams' cultural wake-up call, Enough: The Phony Leaders, Dead-End Movements, and Culture of Failure That Are Undermining Black America--and What We Can Do About It . Williams wrote this book in support of Bill Cosby's repeated assaults on the most destructive, and self-defeating behaviors that are rotting the core of contemporary Black Culture. Enough focuses on the defeatist, victim mentality which festers among poor blacks, and is encouraged by "Black Leaders" and popular culture. Williams takes special care to address the inevitable personal attacks and criticisms that are aimed at Cosby and any other Black person that insists personal responsibility and accountability are the only means to improved economic and social outcomes for African Americans. Although Mr. Williams' assessment can at times be overwhelming and depressing, I highly reccomend this book to anyone interested in a new approach fixing our communities.
