On The Glenn Show, Glenn and John talk about the link between inequality and single parenthood—and why this is such a controversial topic to discuss. John is concerned about single women having more than one child. Do we know what to do to keep someone out of poverty? John thinks that by focusing on inequality instead of single-parent families, liberals are putting the cart before the horse. They discuss David Brooks's recent column on inequality and Robert Reich's harsh critique of it. Glenn emphasizes that when it comes to discussing poverty, "culture" shouldn't be a dirty word.

I have no idea who these people are

Loury is a prof of Econ at Brown University. He's a former neoconservative and also reformed crack/cocaine addict who turned his life around and is now a liberal with progressive tendencies and born-again Christian who writes a lot about the racism of the prison system but still does research in economics.

John McWhorter is a professor of comparative literature at Columbia University who usually writes books on language but also happens to write about Black culture and issues from a moderate right-of-center perspective.

Yeah a very good discussion, http://bloggingheads.tv/videos/13257?in=50:43&out=61:54 @theworldismine13 you ever watched this joint? Although he punts here on the mismatch question, there is another discussion with McWhorter where he makes the sort of "value added" argument for AA.
