Whats wrong with the black community?

[peapers]

Like anyone that has suffered from abuse in the past, a group of people requires time to sift through the debris until they can determine what problems are self-inflicted and what problems are due to external influences.

Black people, on the whole, will only move forward as each individual black person moves forward.

Besides, no ENTIRE group or race has a complete grasp of normalcy or healthy living. There are still whites, native Americans, Asians, etc., that suffer from "ghetto mentality" thinking. So, you can't expect the entire African American race to suddenly become of one mind and act in their best interests.

There will always be those folks who are unable to advance themselves from the lower end of the bell curve.

All you can do is take care of your own life and hold yourself out as a good example of what is possible. Perhaps black people you come across will become influenced by your drive and industry and do likewise.

Good luck and have faith. Nothing lasts forever.
