Let me guess; they'll spend millions for ACORN to do some studies and the outcome will be that whitey is keeping them down.

I’m sure better access to healthcare is going to enable them to read beyond the 2nd grade level, write in cursive, speak in complete sentences and do simple math problems without the aid of a calculator. This is just totally stupid.
According to stats I saw from the Bureau of Labor Statistics at the end of 2012 unemployment among Black males was pushing 30%. Lots of jobs available in the oil patch but they would actually have to work for a change and I would suspect most of them haven’t a clue as to how to accomplish that task.

Many, many Black American men have pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and created their own equality.
Sadly, most seem to take the lazy road and end up lost.

I can predict the outcome; white America is the cause of blacks being nine times more likely to commit a crime.

Young, African-American men are disproportionately more likely to be incarcerated. Their unemployment rate for June was 13 percent.
A) Blacks commit more crimes.
B) Less educated people or felons are less likely to be employed.
That’s racist!
A magic “Incarceration Net” just fell out of the sky and ensnared all those innocent young black males....

Families...INTACT FAMILIES are the very cornerstone of a healthy society. The Great Society was a huge "success". It destroyed the black family structure in a mere two generations.

Black lawmakers on Capitol Hill in March established the Congressional Caucus on Black Men and Boys to raise awareness about issues like these that disproportionately affect this demographic. On July 24, the group will hold its first hearing, titled "The Status of Black Males: Ensuring Our Boys Mature Into Strong Men." I can help:
- Quit committing crimes. Quit acting like thugs.
- Turn off the racism and hatred, and start acting like responsible civilized human beings.
- Learn to read, write, and start behaving like decent civilized human beings.
- Pull up your pants, and practice walking like civilized human beings.
- Practice talking like civilized human beings. Practice reading and writing. Study subjects that are constructive and useful in a free market society.
- Start living and thinking like civilized human beings.
- No one owes you a damn thing. Very few people of any color get anything for free -- you are far overdrawn on the free stuff. If you want a job, you can earn it. If you want respect, you can earn that too. If you want prosperity, you can create it, legally.
- You are exactly the person you have created. Your life is exactly what you have created. Only you can change your thinking. Only you can change your behavior.

Not only do blacks commit more crimes, but many cities are fudging the numbers DOWN to make their cities look more attractive.

“Pointing to barriers to success, such as the likelihood of being racially profiled, having little or no access to quality health care or to have suffered from gun violence, Rep. Danny Davis called for the end of these and other disparities.”
No mention of fatherless households, gang membership, crappy unionized schools in ghetto neighborhoods producing kids who can’t read their diplomas, and liberal policies that have created a persistent black underclass since the 1960s. Yeah, I’m sure their focus will solve all the black community’s problems. /S

Will they look into the gangsta culture, fartherlessness, and crime stats?
Of course not.

From the above link:
In New York, from January to June 2008, 83 percent of all gun assailants were black, according to witnesses and victims, though blacks were only 24 percent of the population. Blacks and Hispanics together accounted for 98 percent of all gun assailants. Forty-nine of every 50 muggings and murders in the Big Apple were the work of black or Hispanic criminals.
New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly confirms Mac Donald’s facts. Blacks and Hispanics commit 96 percent of all crimes in the city, he says, but only 85 percent of the stop-and-frisks are of blacks and Hispanics.
