4. someone has to stir the pot.
Cos's only mistake is that he was too general in his criticism. He should have pointed out to areas where these things do happen (and there are documented cases of boys banging up girls and counting the number of pregnancies, like a game.) and then proceeding with his criticism.

I do believe that Cos would have put the boy who stole the loaf a bread in a different category. BTW, this same scenario was brought up before a white attorney-teacher and his response was, well, he could get a job to feed himself. What jobs are out there for young black men these days that don't lead to depression and suicide? I might be a bit dramatic in that last remark, but, tough.
