I belive it because black youth dont know who they are. There are no positive roll models. Most guys they look up to are ether drug dealers or users. single mothers raising boys by themselvles. boy still crave they male image to look up to. There is no direction for our youths on a positive level. Look at china they have currulim for study starting they childern very young. knowledge instills disiplent and thats what our youths need.

Gee, "smell", yet another profound observation from you! Thanks for "enlightening" us. Inspired by all of your "new" revelations, maybe Black people will do something progressive like - um, elect a black president!

Welcome to 2010. We've heard it all before. Stop insulting our intelligence and - turn on your spell-checker.

Well, unfortunately, all of this is true. The absence of black male fathers, positive role models and mentors has taken its toll. What is the future? Looks kinda grim at this point.....
