Mike: Hmmm..what should I do next? I know! Delete porno spam from my e-mail! Get a grip... Hello? NAACP fundraiser (on phone): Hello, this is the NAACP! We're calling about your annual donation! The racial crisis in America is worse than ever! The number of black and Hispanic children living in poverty has doubled! Median family income is down! The wealth gap is widening! Teen-age pregnancy is rampant! Mike: Well, sure, but on the other hand, the poverty rate for black households is the lowest ever, and birthrates among single women, joblessness and crime are all down! The fact is these are relatively good tims. If advocacy groups don't star realigning their rhetoric to match reality, they're going to have serious credibility problems. Well, gotta go. Good luck. Hello? NAACP fundraiser: Hi! Us again! We're just putting the finishing touches on full social justice!
