i understand what ChristianGirl is saying about being more solution-focused, but at the same time, in order for us to find and/or create efficient and effective solutions, we have to understand the sources of our problems. If you cut a weed above ground, it will cease to be an eye-sore temporarily, but surely it will return. The only way to get rid of it permanently is to remove the roots. We can't be expected to fix problems if we don't completely understand why the problems arise in the first place. And I believe that there is so much finger-pointing and excuse-making during the solution-finding process that it makes it difficult for us as a people to move forward.
Plus, there is so much disunity within our own race - between socioeconomic , educational, and ideological lines - that we run into issues with communicating amongst ourselves. So even when we do find solutions and try to implement programs to improve the community, many times, the people who could benefit from it the most are either unaware or don't take advantage of the opportunities.
It's sometimes difficult to see progress, but it is happening. We just need a hell of a lot more...
