Open Season on Black Men?

It seems that conservatives around the world have taken Obama's comments on Black Fatherhood as the green light they needed to put the blame of social failures on black men. Check out British conservative David Cameron joining the party. I hope all these people will be just as quick to join calls to provide opportunities for black men in societies that have pushed them to the margin. For those familiar with colonial history, you will recognize this as the oldest trope in the game--white men saving brown women from brown men.
