Yes I think these shrinks do have an insight into the way our minds work, certainly.
Whether it helps anyone me going on about these things in a haphazard fashion here is another matter - probably not I guess.
Here is a different tack for you, taken from another website (although slightly linked to comments made in earlier posts about MLK and black communities etc (ATB, Graham):-
Marriage Gets the Silent Treatment

Excerpt-------------“You people need to address the problems of your families. The lack of fathers is at the heart of the ills you face,” spoke the patronizing white-haired, Caucasian minister. His intentions were great but in a myopic way, he had just looked past the problems of his own community and zeroed in on mine. He, like many others, dismissed the true national urgency around the soaring out-of-wedlock birthrates and genocidal abortion rates in the black community. He had distanced himself from these statistics by making them “a black problem.” As long as family breakdown is viewed as an ethnic or minority problem, the average American will not feel that he must address it. Black family breakdown is actually a foreboding signpost which points to the future of all American families, if left unchecked. My minister friend fails to see that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, along with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are redefining concepts of family, fatherhood, and relational fidelity for all America. Perhaps thug rappers, BET videos, and glorified ghetto life are affecting the affluent.--------------------------
