English term or phrase: public responsibility
Liberals, jesse avers, are burdened with a simplistic faith in the ability of governrnent to solve our racial problems. Conservatives, on thé other hand. blâme thé problems on blacks and ignore "public responsibility for the immoral circumstances that haunt our fellow citizens." Both treat blacks as "a problem people." jesse thus presents himself as mediator between ideological extremes. He is a Leftist who does not resort to a crude economic determinism that denies human freedom and that relieves the poor of moral responsibility for their actions. And he is the philosopher who does not use morality to evade public responsibility for social wrongs.

s'agit-il ici de la responsabilité du gouvernement ? l'expression 'responsabilité publique' ne me semble pas très parlante. Merci d'avance !

responsabilité de l'état


Explanation:
Il me semble que les deux premières phrases donnent un élément de réponse :

"Liberals (...) are burdened with a simplistic faith in the ability of government to solve our racial problems."
vs.
Conservatives (...)ignore "public responsibility for the immoral circumstances that haunt our fellow citizens."

Ici, *public responsibility* semble reprendre *faith in the ability of government to solve our racial problems*.

Mais c'est vrai que c'est ambigu... ;-)
