This is such a tired line of reasoning. People calling out racism isn't the problem, it's a distraction from the actual discussion that you claim to seek. If you want to focus on problems and solutions, then target those things. Complaining about what other people are complaining about is a good way to make zero progress.
Obama created a program to promote personal responsibility (My Brother's Keeper), Rahm has promoted it hard as Mayor. These are concrete things being done to improve ethics and personal responsibility among at-risk youth. If those lamenting how things are "banned from the discussion" would instead focus on supporting existing efforts, we could make actual progress.
