A few weeks ago you were queried as to which factors had the greatest impact on Black-male joblessness and Family Fragmentation of the underclass (as coined by Wilson): Structural or Cultural Factors? This week's required reading-from Rothstein-examines some of the same factors but juxtaposes them against the Black-White achievement gap dynamic. Has your original position, in terms of which factor has the greatest impact relative to this new variable (Black-White achievement gap) changed in any way or is/has it been reinforced? Explain.
