You mean you weren't shocked by the enormity of the majority?

No. I want to tell you something that disturbs me as to why I wasn't shocked. Because the Germans voted. And I remember these overwhelming percentage of “Ja” votes. This is disturbing to me. This is very disturbing to me. And I want to be wrong. I don't want to believe.

I'd like to ask you about another aspect of retrogression, and this is black family life. It seems more reports have been coming out recently.

Do you feel on a wide scale there has been a deterioration in black family life?

Yes.

It's not just more exposure?
