If only our Mayor, Council, and the rest of us would put ourselves on the front line, like this seven year old girl from Detroit, who was shot six times defending her mother from an exboyfriend/ excon.'Hero' Girl Recovering After Shooting
Where are the firm, positive father figures our black communities desperately need? Surely there are more out there than the media tells us. We could use more. I don't think it's out of people's capacity to do so, given the right circumstances and "village" support.
And if not?
Should richer families in this country be required to adopt poor black children before going to Africa, Asia, South America and Eastern Europe to find adoptees? What if some of those children were born to crack-addicted prostitutes?
One related issue to why blacks remain poor is the fact that black students are all racing for the academic bottom, to be the cream of the crud (gangsta), instead of studying and making their way out of the ghetto. They all pull each other down. If you try to study in school, you are "just tryin to be white." No, that's called trying to get ahead!! Beat whitey at his own game! I suppose it's merely kids being kids in a shitty situation, trying to come out of top. Problem is, they're playing the wrong game.
Our black kids need Cream of Wheat and button down shirts, not Coco Puffs, tshirts and Xbox360.
