You don't hear about it because it's not necessarily "exciting headlines" for the news to release. But there are plenty of athletes who devote a lot of their time to helping these young black males make it out of the hood and do something positive with their lives. Meaning they are actually doing something about it, actions speak louder than words you know.

But to your point, helping them make it out of the hood is one thing but why not try to fix the hood. Imagine if all these "civil rights" leaders went to these neighborhoods and spoke out against what was going on and not just passing the blame.

There are poor areas of people all over the country of all races. They are filled with drugs and poverty and ignorance. But the violence and killing of the black neighborhoods is becoming astounding.
