Some interesting reports: teenage sex is down, employers are looking to ex-convicts to fill job vacancies, the gap between black and white unemployment rates is the narrowest it's been since the figures were available, crime is down so that black urban dwellings now have the same vulnerability to crime as white suburbanites did in 1990.
I've long believed in the vicious cycle of poverty/racism/social ills. Bad things feed on each other. But maybe I need to admit the possibility of virtuous cycles?
