Yes, that sounds good...but how are you going to enforce 1) to have a Mom and Dad raise the babies; 2) instill religious values (I thought people are free to believe or not); and will a job opportunity be there for someone with the high school education that can feed, clothe, pay rent, and support the family?
It is not only the black kids in inner cities who need help. Just look at Fruitland Park, Lady Lake, Wildwood, or the Ocala Forest. True, there are not race riots (most are white kids) there but there is the great poverty and the high rate of illegimate births the nearby counties.
What is the solution that CAN be done?

Ok serious question so here's a serious answer about what CAN be done?
1. First thing to do is pay attention to Einstein's definition of insanity. To wit, since what we've done for 50 years has not worked, stop doing more of it.
2. Recognize there is no perfect solution but, over the past several hundred years of modernity, what seems to have worked best to pull most people out of poverty is a mix of Christianity and Capitalism.
3. Recognize that "poverty" is more a state of mind and cultural condition that pure economics. Most in the inner city still live better than most around the world. If a family makes $34k per year, that puts them in the top 1% relative to the entire world population
We are the 1%: You need $34k income to be in the global elite... and half the world's richest live in the U.S. | Daily Mail Online
4. Drugs destroy the inner city and other places. You can see the effects in Wildwood, Fruitland Park and elsewhere. Watch the HBO series The Wire and you'll likely end up supporting the death penalty for hard drug dealing (which is what the guy in Baltimore was doing btw ... did not deserve to die at hands of cops but he had been arrested 20+ times and sold heroin)
5. Bottom line: religious values are the ONLY hope to bring people out of cultural poverty, despair and destruction. No government can ever do thiat. A strong two parent family is the key .. which is why the family was invented a few millennia ago.
6. We need a religious and moral revival or we'll continue to descend into the swamp. "Enlightened" liberals will roll their eyes but most people, especially those with common sense, know this is the only path out.
