President Obama is expected to launch his most focused efforts to address the dire prospects of young men of color this week, a demographic far too often swept into cycles of poverty and the school-to-prison pipeline.
Obama will unveil details of a new initiative called “My Brother’s Keeper” on Thursday, which will draw on partnerships with foundations and businesses to target young men of color across the country with a range of opportunities and strategies to help bolster their lives.
The initiative, which will offer “every young man of color who is willing to work hard and lift himself up an opportunity to get ahead and reach his full potential,” according to a White House official, has two key aspects.
The first part involves a group of business and foundation leaders who have come together around implementing and testing strategies in various cities that zero in on key moments in the lives of young men – times where interventions have shown the most impactful results. That includes making sure the children are ready to learn once they get to school and keeping them out of the criminal justice system.
The second element is an internal effort within the federal government that will focus on using results and evidence to evaluate what has worked and what hasn’t. This component will use existing federal resources and the information learned will be shared with the public in hopes of spreading best practices...

What color? I has a color, but I suspect it is not what Obunghole has in mind with his amorphous phrase.
Does the White House provide MSNBC with text files of these press releases? I’d hate to think they send over printed copy and make the journalist input the whole thing manually.
Great
We're his Aunt's Keeper and his Uncle's Keeper....
Now we have a program for His Brother's keeper too.
(and, aren't all his brothers living in other countries...like his Aunt and Uncle should be?)
Most. Divisive. President. Ever.
No.
Blacks will continue to be enslaved as long as they let those frauds who call themselves “leaders of the black community” (Obama, Sharpton, Holder, Jackson, etc) tell them what to do and how to think.
And as long as those guys are directing things, the word “white” will always have a prominent place.
I don’t see a “No chance of working” option. I wonder why.
"It's an intentionally racially divisive money laundering and voter fraud operation, glazed like a donut with platitudes and cliches to make goofy white liberals smile and feel good."
Frankly, I truly find this statement frightening. Especially in light of the Philly polling place event (Black Panther intimidation which was never prosecuted, and this was in the lying scum’s first term). Also, in light of the refusal to recognise the hate-crime pattern in the knockout king “game”. Also, in light of the ongoing effort to disarm law-abiding citizens.
His real brother, who lives on $12 a month in Kenya, must find this ruefully amusing.
I noticed that too. The poll options are all either positive or neutral. There is no option for people who think the program will fail.
And all this while the shrinking productive class can’t afford to support their own children. I’m sure some Appalachian barely hanging on to a job will be just thrilled to learn that his taxes will support “youths of color” while his own children can just go cook meth.
It's the jaw-boning of an ass. A braying ass.
Immaculate deception, is only a moment away...
LOL and for his next Act he will introduce the Moabite Population Control Center with subsidized methane for every baby cooker sold.
The “It will fail spectacularly” option is missing.
Notice he didn't say young black men. Hispanic is in.
