Crack is Whack!!
LBJ's Great Society fixed this problem in the US.
What they need is a father who will spank their butt and keep them in school, that would help more than anything else.

The needed a government study to tell them this?
Where would black "leadership" be without a constantly renewing crop of victims? Black victimhood is practically a plank of the Democratic party.
I thought it was a mortal sin in the black community to call any male a “boy” even kid!
Sons whose fathers acknowledge them, raise them and teach them how to be men have no need for role models.
This problem is world wide and not just an American one. But, but we really shouldn’t profile!
Crack is Whack!!
If anyone used the term ‘black boys’ in this country, cities would be burning, and the Reverends Al and Jesse would be getting more press coverage than the Second Coming.
“He also said that black youths need better role models: “Black boys and young men desperately need a greater diversity of images and portrayals, showing that black men can be, and are, successful in a wide range of careers including business, teaching, the law and health care.”
There are plenty of such men. Tiger Woods (not just as an athlete, but as a savvy businessman), the astronaut Robert Curbeam, and writer/think tanker Thomas Sowell come to mind.
This is a fundamental error in thinking.
We do not create "society" directly. We create homes and families. The sum of those homes and families is "society".
If you would affect "society", put your own home and family in order.
The mother of a family who are my neighbors spoke in church recently. Shen she was younger, she was offered a full-ride scholarship to Vasser, but turned that down to be a full-time mother.
A doctor once told her she would never bear children. She gave birth to her twelfth child about a year ago.
She spoke of talking with old classmates who had become very financially successful. They asked her what she had done over the years. She told them that she had decided to become a full-time mother rather than pursuing a career.
Her children are exceptional. They are very bright, well-mannered and excellent athletes to boot. Her sons are among the top wrestlers in the state. So far, the two oldest have received full-ride scholarships to universities. The younger ones appear to be on the same track.
My point is this: While this mother's classmates each have made their names and had their impacts on the world, she has multiplied her impact twelve-fold. Where one classmate did the great things one person can do, she is nurturing twelve who will have great impact.
That is how you change "society". Homes become society.

Yeah, but it sure took a long time to learn the lessons from the massive poverty-caused crime wave during the depression. </sarcasm>
This article must be racist and disrciminatory. Some judge somewhere will soon agree.
