Juan Williams has been charge with airing dirty laundry for his views on racism.

(CBS) Here is some news that should be at the top of the front page everyday: 70 percent
of black children are born to unmarried women.

Here's some more real news for the front page: As many as half of black children drop out
of high school.

This is the scandal of modern American life.

It is bad enough that a quarter of white children and half of Hispanic children are born out
of wedlock. But when 70 percent of any group of children don't have a mom and dad it is a
sure fire prescription for family breakdown, educational failure, poverty and criminal
behavior.

And the problem is compounded by Hip-Hop culture. All the videos feature poisonous
images of black people as threatening, violent, over-sexed and dressed like pimps,
strippers, gangsters and prisoners - you know, no belt and pants hanging down low. It is
bad enough that these images are imprinted on white minds. But it is cruel to send young
black people seeking direction the message that this is the most they can hope for in
America.

Yet when I wrote this in my new book ? ?Enough? - I was charged with airing dirty laundry
and taking attention away from the power of on-going racism. Well, it is going to be a
long wait for the end of racism. That should not stop work on the big issues that threaten
all Americans, but especially poor minorities: family breakdown and failing schools.

This is our civil rights struggle. We will be judged if we fail to act now. This is front page
news for this generation. Juan Williams
