I live in Garland, Texas, which is about 25 minutes from Frisco without traffic. I have been up to Frisco on many occasions. The borders of Collin County are not far from my house. I remember when the news broke about the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf at the hands of Karmelo Anthony. The case immediately turned to one of race. And every attempt was made to portray Anthony, a black teenager, as a frightened victim of white aggression. The ensuing trial, if anyone paid attention to the case and the facts, completely debunked that narrative. It was similar to the Michael Brown storyline in Ferguson, Missouri, "hands up, don't shoot." That was not the case. However, as usual, the typical race baiters abided by the mantra of Rahm Emanuel, "never let a good crisis go to waste."

The truth is, the saga of Michael Brown and Karmelo Anthony centers around a deeper issue that Marxist leftists and race hustlers, like Black Lives Matter, will not confront. The issue is the decimation of the traditional nuclear black family.

I turned 65 this year, a kid born in the "blacks only" segregated Hughes Spalding hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. I grew up in Atlanta's historic "Old Fourth Ward" neighborhood, which produced Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and was the cradle of the Civil Rights movement, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), and the famous "Sweet Auburn Avenue." It was the home of one of the two all-Black high schools, Howard HS, which produced the NY Knicks' famous basketball guard, Walt "Clyde" Frazier. Howard HS also produced the man who transformed Atlanta, its first Black mayor, Maynard Jackson. He spoke at my Grady HS baccalaureate in 1979, as the last remnants of the old Howard HS graduated.

Even as I was born in a segregated hospital in 1961, at that time, the traditional two-parent, man and woman, Black family........
