There is a reason for this. It is too complicated a problem and so broad, the screamers for change, actions, etc are just not smart enough to try to provide concrete plans. All they know is how to generate riots, discontent, protests etc and pretend to help control them with "LABELS". Where do you start with the complications that brought theses terrible problem(s) to our door. This is not a one
plan or solution fits all. A detailed plan has to be brought forwards that addresses
the years of neglect of the plight of the black person, the years of raising children with the psychology that they are entitled, the build up of crime in the housing projects because of the failure to have a solid 2 parent family, the schooling system
both k-12 and College and Universities who have neglected to participate in the
need to assist to correct past abuses, a long range plan that can be applied to ensure
the action plans continue to be promoted. These are just a smattering of the need
for detail plans to disrupt the on going black issues. It is a disgrace that we have not
seen a single detailed plan to go after the many issues to solve the complicated needs of this community of people. I am personally sick of the label's and want to see the details behind the meaningless labels.

Watched a vey informative video where they interviewed very prominent Black men and three comments stood out to me.. 1) Morgan Freeman said if you want to get rid of racism then Shhhhh quit talking about it 24/7 it's not doing one damn bit of good.. 2) Wesley Snipes said, "cops" ain't arresting 7 year old little boys, where's daddy at? Boys need their father especially in poor neighborhoods where there's gangs and drugs running rampant.. 3) A very prominent college football coach (can't remember his name) said quit saying kids are different today, they are not, in the 40 years of recruiting kids remain exactly the same, a blank slate, it's the parents that have changed and NOT for the better.. The consensus seemed to be, dream big, don't give up, work hard, don't believe everything you see on the news and for God sake do not use the past as an excuse or a crutch for failure..
