Yes, the professionals agree with you...
Black men need special attention from social workers to deal with their needs
..."Contemporary characterizations and depictions suggest that African American males harbor a lifelong disregard for their own personal development, and a lack of commitment to their loved ones and society in general," a societal attitude that keeps them from being helped, he said.
Despite their problems, few programs are designed specifically to help black males, and social workers may not view them as part the families and communities that the workers serve, with the result that black males' individual needs go unaddressed...
- Black male youths are likely to grow up in single-parent homes. The boys often don't have fathers residing in the home to serve as role models...
- Black males, even as boys, are more likely than other male peers to suffer from stress-induced depression and other physical and mental health problems that may result in homicidal and suicidal behaviors as they mature...
- Black boys are more likely to experience difficulty in school and are less likely to graduate than any other group.
- African American males' socioeconomic status contributes significantly to their likelihood of being arrested and spending time in prison.
- African American males have longer periods of joblessness and lower salaries due to underemployment than men from other demographic groups.
And therein lies the heart of what's 'wrong' with black men.
Don't get me started on why so many black men no longer wear the traditional hat of husband, father, protector, and provider. Let's just say that leftists had everything to do with it.
