This piece provides insight into a central dilemma that faces our society. How to address that "nihilism" without condoning or simply taking a moralistic detachment from the problem of the disenfranchised black urban youth. It is a strong expression of individualism but the larger situation addressed is truely ambiguous and that might have been better expressed in the conclusion.
