What is a plan to aid the poor, young black americans in the US?

Question

please help by listing steps to take and the benefits of a plan to help young black america that are underpriviledged

Answer 1

I have no plan to help any American just because he/she is "black". They are as capable as any American to help themselves. I have no plans to help any American just because he/she is "young", they are as capable as I was when I was young. I have minimal plans to help any American that is poor, and only to help those who intend to help themselves. And most of those exist in the form of current social services.

I have yet to see an American that is underprivledged (defined as uneducated, hungry, or unhoused) for any length of time that doesn't want to be. With or without my help.

Answer 2

This is a tricky program. It involves discipline, motivation, and personal responsibility.

It's called stay in school, then GET A JOB YOU LAZY BUM. The benefits of getting a job are plentiful. If you have a job, you'll be more popular with the ladies. You won't get arrested for selling crack. Your children will know who their daddy is because he'll be a responsible contributing member of society.

Bill Cosby made some waves a couple of years ago when he suggested that young blacks be responsible for their own actions. And that they should start speaking proper English. (What a concept?!?!)

All of the opportunities that anyone could ask for are available for today's youth. They're just too spoiled and not willing to get their hands dirty. They think it is beneath them to flip burgers to make a living. I don't think so.

The best job available for the youth of America is in the armed forces. Real life skill training, benefits, and room and board. Can't find that at any other job today.

Good Luck kids, you'll need it.

If you mean the ***** populace then, there is public schools, which one has to show effort to in order to excell and receive a diploma from. Next is scholarships, grants and federal aid which gives every individual who was not born with a silver spoon in their mouth the opportunity to attend college(community colleges are affordable). Again the drive/desire has to come from the inside of an individual. Things are not just handed to anyone. Immigrants who legally enter this country, not speaking the language and certainly not rich manage to excel because of a desire and work ethic. Most of the stories I hear is of a "slave mentality" that people owe the ***** a living. The most recent case I was told in my girlfriends family was because the family did not want to change from the expected to the unexpected, her 19 yr old niece was told not to join the military and get out from her welfare mom. So the girl doesnt go out to get a job or further her education, because no one else in the immediate family has done that. Sad.

Answer 4

I would interview the target group and ask them what would work for them, and most importantly, I'd ask if they wanted "help".
You've got to think.... help for what? What is it that you've decided needs to be different about the choices they are making in their lives? Does a young person want to be taught how to achieve a specific goal of theirs? I think that would be the biggest question of all.

I see the black culture in America as a culture of victims who refuse (as a group) to change their lives. Look at Asians and Hispanics....they embrace education and work....what is stopping young blacks? Themselves. You can't fight that and win.

Not even Oprah and her billions have made a dent in it, and she's tried. She's done the research, she has the resources to find the answers, and she's failed. There's one brilliant, successful woman who is very motivated to help her people. You can't change people's minds against their will. It just doesn't work.

Answer 5

we need a plan to help all poor underprivileged human beings. I believe charity begins at home. All restaurants should donate food they would normally throw away to family's in need. All stores no matter what nature should donate items that would normally be thrown out or given to organizations to sell to families and individuals free who have the need... so much could be done but the almighty dollar always gets in the way.

Answer 6

It's called getting an education....stay in school....get a job....that goes for ALL underpriviledged kids...not just black kids.

Answer 7

How about young black Americans not put down other black Americans who try to do something with themselves. If a young man or woman leaves the inner city to try to do something with themselves they are called "Uncle Tom," "Oreo," or some other word. It's pathetic.

Answer 8

I think we need a plan to help all of the young underprivileged youth. When we start to look past race then we will see people of all races succeeding, and no one will be left behind.

Answer 9

Why are the young black americans under-priviledged? Wouldn't every young person be? Why just young black men?

Answer 10

The same as helping all the other poor people.
There was no help for my ancestors when they were poor, they worked hard and got what they earned. America is about opportunity not handouts.
