This is a subject rather lost in all the general fuss - justified fuss - about the racial significance of the Obama victory.

It is a sensitive subject, particularly for those of us who have never been victims of racism.

But I wonder now whether it will become a theme of the Obama presidency - in effect, it is the Bill Cosby take on modern race relations; the claim that, to an extent, the current plight of many black Americans is the fault of black culture.

And that culture must now change.
