Let me put the breaks on this "lovely" discussion on the Black male.
I've lived in New York myself and it seems that sisters are also riding this train of misdirection. More sisters want to be Lil Kim or Foxy instead of educated young ladies but that is not the topic so I'll digress on it.
To be honest it isn't the young men who are teh problem. The problem was created by the older gentlemen who struggled to make it and now that they got that nice house in a nice suburb, they forgotten about the younger cats who are struggling to do right. They vote for to shoot down "work for welfare", affirmative action, summer job programs (designed to keep them off the streets). The state of the Black (young) male lies in the hands of the people who qucikly dismissed them as ignorant and lazy because of the crap they see on a rap video. People like Armstrong Williams subscribe to this nonsense.
Now the state of the Black male rest on our shoulders. Are we willing to step up and help the younger ones? Or do we just grab our degrees and head to the suburbs. Do we share the wealth or do we get fat while the rest starve?
