Brother BigBERG you are certainly correct. However, let me add to your comments. I think BGLO need to focus on those that are most at risk. Those of us that have found success need to leave our comfortable neighborhoods and go into the inner city to help save a child. Now don't get me wrong, it's great to support the kids where we live but the ones that most need our help have no role models, no resources, no support and often no clue what it takes to gain even a small amount of success.
I know that many of us overlook the fact that we have family members that are much like the young kids we talk about trying to help. One of the many things I've focused on this year is to help the single black women in my family that struggle to raise their kids. My mom is always telling me that I need to be tutoring my younger cousins before going across town to help others.
