Every time a black leader says "stop! Go get a job, take care of your children, don't blame everyone else" they are blasted as being an Uncle Tom or not really black. By there own leaders like Jackson and sharpton.
Bill Cosby is laughed at and called a crazy old man.
These people are told from the time they are born they can't make it, that they are victims and all the white folks are against them. People (of all races) will take the easy way out. It is much easier to blame everyone else rather than look at the mistakes that you have made or work hard and earn it.
Until there is real leadership the problem will not get fixed.
There is a movement in the youth of this country that they can't be successful. Even there teachers are telling them this. Make sure you encourage your children and young adults let them know there are already a success, they will make mistakes and from time to time and lose. Yes the cards aren't always in your favor but that's just life.
What really is important is they get back up and push forward especially when it's hard. That's what makes them a success.
