For much of Barack Obamas presidency, he has sought to avoid being defined by his race or gender, often emphasizing that he is the leader of all Americans. On Thursday, Mr. Obama will use the power of his office to focus on helping young black men succeed.
Stymied by Congress on many of the economic policies he considers central to the lives of blacks, Mr. Obama is seeking to prod nonprofit foundations, business groups and civic leaders to provide more opportunities for a struggling part of the American family.
His new My Brothers Keeper initiative is aimed at finding ways in which business and civic leaders can intervene at just the right moment to keep young black men and other men of color on a successful course.

Yesterday was the two year anniversary of George Zimmerman defending himself against a punk who was trying to kill him....so of course BO used this week to pretend he gives a damn about black kids.

This is a tacit admission of Lopsided Black Violence against others. No doubt the media gloss over this.

The unemployment rate for young black men is over 50%, primarily because of the minimum wage. Obama wants to raise the minimum wage, which will make the situation even worse.
