Black American Youth: OUT OF CONTROL: Parents running out of HOPE
Black youth in America are being troubled by the mixed messages from authority(parents, teachers, religion) and society(media, peers and neighborhood). On the one hand, youth are being asked to conform to rules and the pathway to success...but once they mesh with their peers or around schoolmates, the saga of vice commences. They are exposed to the easier path through intolerance, explicit s*x, and entertainment. Parent control is waning each year the child grows and behavioral disorder too often raises to the level where the police must be called in to account.
Brawls, shootings, mass rapes and murder now plague Americas cities as the black youth become more and more out of control. There is a solution....There is an answer...But, parents are so busy trying to make ends meet, many time they have not the time to address the problem.
Black Youth are getting bored with the options handed down to them. They see their life in the ghetto not changing no matter how many positive strides Black people as a whole are making. It seems so much easier to impregnate a young girl, market drugs and gang bang then follow a course of discipline involving read, writing and doing the right thing.
The setting up of a new nation in Africa presents a new set of options for Black youth in America. In this case their efforts will result in a positive differance that they can realize, feel and taste. Being involved in new factories, new roads, new highways, new colleges, new transit systems....on top of a new environment with exotic animals, beautiful horticulture and exquisite gems will have a way of absorbing most if not all the energy of the youth and convert it to positive energy of reconstruction. They would be directly involved in the development of their homeland....In short, establishing a new nation in Africa will be just what the doctor ordered for todays failing youth.

Black youth need a reward system that is real, tangible and most of all stimulating to the them. Youth, no matter how we slice it, are not dumb. They know there is something wrong with the American system that rewards the some youth differantly than them. Black youth will say tell adults to look at the rise in unemployment...why should I go to college and be goody goody only to be let down and end up on welfare like my cousins, aunts and uncles.
Debra, what you speak are all good ideas of correcting many of the elements of decadence in society. The problem is that we, as Black Americans are not in control of legislature. It turns out that Black crime generates money for the American legal system. The lawyers get paid, the courthouse gets paid and the state or county gets paid. Black parents can yell and complain in communities but as long as the legislaturers are white, they will think differant as long as the crime is not bleeding in their own backyard.
The only way for Black Americans to take charge of the affairs of their youth is to have land of their own. Then blacks can pass laws that are tailored for the disposition of their own kids. White youth have a vested interest in going to college, trade school or living a upright life. Their parents, uncles and other people that look like them are in charge. If they cannot find a job when they get out of college....their parent can make a phone call....and some buddy will GIVE them a job. Black youth are loosing interest in life's normalcy in America. They will say that even if they do all the right things.....American society is still against them.....AND THEY ARE RIGHT.....So Black youth needs new incentives, new reward objects, new goals.....that puts a spark in their eyes.
This single mom once asked me to speak to her child that was having trouble coping in school. So I mentored him to build a science project. And if it is competitive, he would win a MP3 player....the youth said already got one....I said then you will win a cell phone.....the youth said already got one.....I said then you will win a DVD player....the youth said already got one.....My point, is that here we have a troubled child but yet his mother has been rewarding him with objects fit for a star pupil.....Even with all of these objects....the child was bored. In short, Black parents need to be in control of our neighborhoods, communities and society....then we can dictate what vices come in and the structure of schools. As long as we are mere consumer-citizens...then we are helpless to the ruling majority.
