Strictly speaking, relativism does not permit social progress, because the new culture is by definition no better than the one it replaced. - Dinesh D'Souza

Do you believe in the existence of Socrates? Alexander the Great? Julius Caesar? If historicity is established by written records in multiple copies that date originally from near contemporaneous sources, there is far more proof for Christ's existence than for any of theirs.

The worst decay in the two-parent black family unit seems to have occurred not during slavery or as a result of slavery, but much later and for different reasons. Nor is there any evidence that as a consequence of slavery, blacks condoned illegitimacy as acceptable within the community. For the decline and fragility of the contemporary black family, the institution of slavery bears only a minor responsibility.

This is our turn at the wheel, and history will judge us based on how we handle it. Decline is a choice, but so is liberty.
