There is something to be said for personal responsibility but there is something extremely distasteful when your kid is dead and society is blaming you and your culture instead of the irrational fears of a privileged culture for what ultimately lead to their death and then having a black fellow who thinks he is above it all because perhaps he found a good job, lecturing everyone on why they should be more like him. Reminds me of Bill Cosby or for that matter the Koch Brothers lecturing everyone else who didn't inherit billions as to why we need to simply go out an earn our own billions or shut up. Fuck that elitist attitude. It's everything that is wrong with this country right now.
