What the black community needs is a change in culture. Young black men need to think of careers as Plumbers, Carpenters, and Electricians. Not aspiring rappers, football players, or basketball players. They also need to keep their pants above their asses. And young black women need to insist on marriage, and that the young black man courting them has a steady job before they have sex.
Correct - a change in culture. If a kid after high school today becomes a plumbers apprentice, then in about 5 years (s)he would be earning nearly 100K in the right areas. Good, solid money.
