No, you are not crazy.

I'm not male, but I have young black males in my proximity. I will make an attempt to reach out to them, as I do to all children in my neighborhood. We have Asian, Muslim, WASP, and African-American kids in our neighborhood. They all have the same needs.

My goal will be to reach out to ALL kids. Even if it's just taking them to our community pool. I will ask them about their dreams and desires and see if they have an idea of how to proceed. I have good ideas about how to prepare for college, take tests, financial aid, etc. Also some knowledge of alternatives, including trade apprenticeships and military service, etc.

I will ask my husband to do the same. But usually when he ends up in the pool with the kids it turns into a big free-for-all. Positive active male energy is good.
