Ah, I see. Furhter summarization is that the black community leaders want the segregationist policies so that they can create a sense of pride in their community and race and better help eliminate black poverty. Those are what they think will help cure the gradual increase in violence. If you want to know more, actually read the damn article

I agree with them in spirit, specifically about poverty being a huge factor in crime (but not an excuse), but going backwards 50 years in practice is by far the wrong course of action.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I'm betting that the majority of African-Canadians don't agree with this. Remember that community "leaders" of any group are more often than not self-appointed. The people they claim to represent are probably too busy trying to put food on the table to pay attention.
