It will never end as long as people are shamed and shunned for calling it out.

A problem can't be fixed, if a problem can't be recognized.

What Can I do to Lower Black Participation in Crime


There is a common belief among a few local black community "leaders" that the answer is to hire police officers who sympathize and accept the "ways of the hood" and will reduce the number of arrests made for crimes in those areas, thereby "reducing" the crime.

Liberal or conservative, it shouldn't matter. You want better for your people and for your neighborhoods. It starts with people like you who want a brighter future for yourself and your children.

Try to start/participate in a movement to counter the prevailing notion that blacks are perpetual victims. That notion, no matter to what degree it may still be true, is so very corrosive to individual achievement, and therefore to group achievement.

Teach your children...
To get an education.
To avoid drugs and those who don't.
Say their prayers and eat their vegetables.
Hit what they aim at.
Teach the Lords prayer.
Whup 'em.
Right vs. wrong is a way of life.
Be an inspiration to them.
Take them fishing.
Training.
Education.
Play baseball with them.
A part of everything they do.
Call them when they are away... often.
Take them with you.
Lots of hugs.
Pay attention to them when they speak.
Love them more than you love yourself.
Make them work with you.
Do the same chores.
Earn money.
Behave yourself.
Try harder.

Honestly, all you can do is to have a loving, stable family and raise your children to be intelligent, compassionate, productive members of society.

Community organizer. The only way this gets fixed is if we can get kids to start changing their goals. The cycle of poverty that many impoverished get into glorifies the dope man. That needs to change, so that's where I'd start.

I'm far too white for black kids to listen to me though

First, these problems were created over generations and will probably take generations to solve because human values don't change overnight. But nothing is going to change unless people start trying to change it, so good for you trying to make a difference

quote:

Political Rights Activist


Lord no, they are part of the problem. There is a ton of money and power in these "social injustice movements". They have a vested interest in sewing seeds of division. Some of them may even have good intentions but the end goal is the same, picking different sets of winners and losers based largely on race rather than merit or even need. That doesn't solve anything, it just makes things worse.

quote:

Charity Donation


This is probably the right answer, but donate time rather than or in addition to money. You can't save the entire black community, but you might be able to save a few stray kids here and there. Look into something like Big Brother or just volunteer time at one of the shelters or community centers.

IF you're serious, be a counselor in outreach programs.

1. tutor black youth so that they know what kind of opportunities they could get if they try even just a little in high school. Show them all of the opportunities for scholarships and grants or even just how much money they could make working a trade.

2. Employ them. If you have a business, take a risk on employing poor African Americans who want to work, if you can find them.

3. Vote against those who enable the leach lifestyle.

4. Snitch. If someone in your community is committing crimes, start calling in tips to crimestoppers.
