The youth violence problem is not so much a gun problem. Its not even so much a youth problem. Its an adult male problem. The Million Man March organizers had the problem pegged spot on: Black men need to take back our homes, and our streets. We need to raise our kids, instead of allowing them to be raised by the streets. We need to show them love and teach them that there is much more and better out there for than than that offered by the street hustle and the warped mores that go along with that. We need to teach them that street culture is NOT black culture, as much of the art and media seem to suggest.
There is of course a role for government (more resources for after-school activities and summer work, etc.) but primarily its on us. The sisters who head the majority of our households are doing the best they can under bad circumstances, but they are overwhelmed. Far too many of my brothers are dropping the ball. We can't tolerate this any longer. The aims of the Million Man March must be followed up upon...like yesterday
Thank you Larry for your insightful comment. This definitely highlights some of the social problems going on in the community that fuels much of the chaos. Thank you for speaking frankly and for your input.
