Saving money for their kids education. From my personal experience it seems like something that the african amerian community needs to invest in. Less time and money on rims and baby phat and more saving money for USC. I want to hear what people have to say about this

The ridiculous and false accusation that
you have presented (in the thinly-veiled
form of a "question") is totally untrue
and completely without basis or merit.
It is a well-known and well-proven FACT that
The MAJORITY of the African-Americans DO
NOT do the things that you described at all.
What you have presented is a racist media
stereotype -- and the fact that you clearly
believe such nonsense to be true only reveals
the fact that you are either extremely naive,
racist or far too arrogantly lazy to try
learn the truth about this group.
For those who are interested in knowing
the truth about the African-Americans
it is strongly recommended that
they read the book entitled:
"DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE: Fighting Cultural
Mis-Information about African-Americans"
(-- by 'Ferai Chideya' -- Harvard University
graduate; Newsweek correspondent;
and Meet the Press anchorperson)

Perhaps it is the fact that if their children learn to become independent and self sufficient on their own then they will be better equipped to adjust to life's many curveballs.
The kids who have everything handed to them on a platter do not develop the proper people skills and they are not the most well adjusted people out there to say the least.
It is also a lot of trouble to get well paying jobs (not just for Africans but everyone) and maybe they can't afford it.
Poverty is a sad reality of life and it is the axle by which our capitalist society revolves around, is dependent upon because it serves the function of keeping the status quo (keeping the rich rich and the poor poor so that others may exploit their human resource).

Some should not be able to answer these question. I think the black community needs to have a voice of reason so they can make strives in the world. I know that not all black people dont save but its not something that most black people seem to care about.

That's a great question . . .
As a black person I can say I think we're a bit a) stuck in the past and b) we have our priorities messed up . . .
Thirty years ago, you didn't need to go to college. You could just go and work in the local factory. We're still stuck in that mode.
And with regard to our priorities, having the next great FUBU outfit, or a great pair of shoes is more important than going to school. It's the dumbing down of our culture!

because they themselves are uneducated and don't know any better, this doesn't just go for African Americans but for the white, and Hispanic communities as well
