Again, how do you know that he is predicting? I haven't researched it, but perhaps he is quoting some sort of study.

Could be...or he could be quoting a sociological study, and his worst fear is that his people will become extinct.

Who says that black men have much use for them to begin with?

It seems that people like Sharpton and Rangel want to be the next MLK Jr, leading other black people out of the Abyss of Racism and Injustice. However, they don't seem to realize that the scenery has changed. This isn't a time of White and Colored bathrooms and water fountains. Long gone (for the most part) are stores and diners that refuse to serve or even admit non-whites. Back then it was basically white vs non-white when it comes to fatal violence. However, now black people have more to fear from other black people. More often than not, they're bringing themselves down and holding themselves back.
Of course, this creates a problem for people like Rangel or Sharpton. To address this correctly, they need to target the black people who are holding back other blacks who are otherwise trying to rise out of their situations. But if they do that, they'll have one faction claiming they're going after their own people instead of focusing on where the problem is (anywhere but within). There's something do be said for the man who boldly strides forward, but for this, it's a delicate dance they'd have to do, and I don't think either of them are nimble enough. Quote:

white people talking about conditions in minority communities = ignorance, racism, or both.
members of minority groups discussing white people = witty social commentary.

Well, you can hardly write a critique of white American culture, because as everyone knows, that's a contradiction in terms.
