Many times, the blacks will view it as a white plot and actively work against it. In situations where the poor people are white, then it is viewed in a similar fashion (the rich are looking to control the poor). Bringing in role models (who left and made something of themselves), makes people angry as they are viewed as betraying the neighborhood. Seen it in the poor whites where I grew up, Indian reservations, and the places where my wife teaches.
A lot of these uplift programs don't work because they are trying to solve the symptoms, not the cause. Once you get a group of people convinced that they are victims, they give up. Race doesn't have much to do with it, and changing that perception is very difficult.
We don't need a plan to uplift blacks. We need a plan to wean them off of the free stuff. But no one will touch that with a 10 foot pole. IMHO this issue doesn't get fixed as long as the US has access to credit. The politician has not been born who has the stones to say "no more free stuff".
