It almost requires a fight for hearts and minds in the Black community. It literally has come down to that and it is a shame because some of us are already out here fighting to succeed and thrive personally, professionally , mentally in a society that prefers everything except for Black men and yet instead of finding refuge in our own communities so we can recharge and muster enough energy, strength to continue to fight however we are met with this type of behavior and ppl who want to justify them (this is a disturbing ass trend we have very educated well to do Black ppl on this board and in media always justifying this degeneracy and yet they are the product of behaviors and choices that are the opposite of that meaning they came from two parent households, went to college and graduate schools, got married etc... and yet they go so hard trying to make a result of SOLELY white supremacy).
It is like fighting a two front war.
I have always said and will continue to say this HUMAN CAPITAL is the most important asset any community/city/state/country can have and the development of human capital comes from education, skill acquisition and good health those are the things that bring wealth to a community (One of the reasons some resource rich countries in the world i.e Sub-Saharan Africa have not become wealthy countries is because they have lagged on the human capital development metric).
You simply CANNOT have young people (the future of a community) behaving in this manner. You have no chance as a community plain and simple.
