What Happened to Black Culture?

From Reliapundit at Astute Bloggers, "WHAT'S HAPPENED TO AFRICAN-AMERICAN CULTURE - AND WHY?":

Well, we went from a period of history like this (when folks like sharecropping black families did everything they could to make sure their kids got an education):

To things like this and this (when black and white Americans came together in love and understanding):

To things like this (when change and challenge destroyed the moral authority and institutional integrity of the black family, and anti-intellectualism and the normalization of violence became the cultural routine):

See Reliapundit's own video montage for an alternative take.

Inspired by Instapundit (which I saw this morning), and
Boing Boing.

Thanks to Reliapundit for going beyond nostalgia to hard and necessary cultural analysis.
