I am still waiting for you to post a thread where I complained about women not talking to me. |

I haven't read all of the posts yet. I'm just responding to the thread title. I personally could do more. I know from first hand experience how real growing up impoverished can be. I'm almost 30 with no kids. Life waaaaay comfortable for me now. Even through the recession I was alright. While I know there's black kids right across town that would love to get adopted by me. ....buy what am I doing? I'm entrenched in my selfish little hobbies. Keeping my own patch of grass perfect for me and not bringing anyone else into it. I know that I'm capable of more but I don't feel guilty. I feel.... Umm.... Ya know what it is guilt. I have a guest room and a game room. There's no excuse for me having not at least adopted one kid yet. |

LMFAO Please tell me that was a joke. If you're working or care enough about yourself to look for work, then you're being responsible. Fuck everyone else. I use to give a shit about others, until I worried myself into having a mental breakdown. |

Here is a great article about the true stats relating to young black men and what we can do to help. It is not too late and I hope some of the more stable brothers will get involved as the statistics on young black men in America are staggering, but critical for us to talk about as we take on this issue. Right now, one in 100 Americans are behind bars, and nearly 1/3 of black men will spend time in prison in their lifetime. Here are a few more facts to be aware of: - Blacks are ten times as likely as whites to be incarcerated for drug crimes, even though they have similar levels of drug use. - More young black men have done prison time than military service or earned college degrees. - Black men in prison make up 40% of the prison population, but are only 14% of the U.S. population. - Since 1971, there have been more than 40 million arrests for drug-related offenses. - There are more blacks under correctional control today — in prison or jail, on probation or parole — than were enslaved in 1850, a decade before the Civil War began. - There are 50,000 arrests for low-level pot possession a year in New York City, representing one out of every seven cases that turn up in criminal courts. Most of these arrested are black and Hispanic men. The levels of incarceration in America are unacceptable. The four-fold increase in the rate of incarceration in America since the late 1970s has caused enormous strain on the same minority neighborhoods that are living with excessively high crime rates. These neighborhoods are given a false choice between lower crime rates and fewer arrests. http://www.dylanratigan.com/2012/04/27/a-time-to-heal-repairing-americas-relationship-with-young-black-men/ |

Yes! Right on! I approve this message....niggas are acting like rabid dogs and that includes the Black church. They ain't doing shit. And I can't stand the cowardly Black men with mama issues who can't find anything better to do than incessantly denigrate Black women as if THEIR grandmothers,mothers, sisters do not exist. I say shoot him...weed out the gene pool. Edited by Archaicwisdom, May 31 2012, 09:05 AM.

The Black church used to fulfill its role at being at the center of the black community for guidance, political activism, encouraging strong families and providing support for those in the community who needed help. It is a disgrace the way some pastors have choosen to make the pulpit a money making scheme where they are only concerned with being wealthy and rich. No pastor needs a private plane, a mansion in Hollywood, three homes, a fleet of luxury cars and a mega church where they live a luxurious live at the expense of their congregation. I do believe that many pastors have forgotten that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven. There are numerous social problems where they need to minister to the disadvantaged yet have forsaken the most desperate in the community to live like Kings. |

Why should churches be responsible for bad or no parenting? At what point are black people to be held responsible for their own actions? The church doesn't cause irresponsible sex among black teens, the church is not responsible for parents not doing their jobs. |

I thought you knew that Blacks will always blame something or someone else besides themselves. |
