R. J. Beaumia's column is wildly inaccurate and with regard to me, the White House and my news organization. However, I am writing to point out that his analysis of my recent column about HIV/AIDS in the black community is not only wrong, but dishonest. I was critical of the role models for young African-Americans that promote irresponsible behavior – the prime factor in HIV transmission. As far as victimhood, read the very liberal and
African-American Juan Williams' new book, "Enough: The Phony Leaders, Dead-End Movements, and Culture of Failure That Are Undermining Black America – and What We Can Do About It" that advances a similar premise.
