It is for saying this that the barons of
righteous social thought on racial matters, black and white, have condemned writers such as Steele [and, of course, Glenn Loury].
In particular, he kept seeing the baffling personal injustice involved when «the wicked doth compass about the
righteous,» and, even when he
thought of the nation's collective problem, his solution was not so much to blame present
social tragedy on antecedent
social sin as to believe that justice, now denied, would come in time — «Though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay.»
