Every nationality on this earth does for their own - By exposing their children to ALL THINGS THAT ARE POSSIBLE through private clubs, father/son orgs, college visits, fraternity/business events, etc. Many Black kids ARE NOT EXPOSED to BLACK PILOTS/BUSINESSMEN/DOCTORS, etc. BTW: Most AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE NOT IN PRISON! The msg should be: Black MEN father YOUR children - raise them to GRADUATE HS/COLLEGE - expose them to career opportunities !
What a wonderful program. Having the opportunity to experience aviation early in life is so meaningful. Your consciencious efforts to bring aviation career opportunities to under-priviledged Black children brings tears to my eyes. Thank you American Airlines!
@jksn008 One year later the program was scrapped. Over 90% of blacks failed the training or just dropped out. LOL Unbelievable. Look it up on google. It was in late 90's or early 2000. LOL What a joke... As for going back to Europe, I'm planning on leaving by next year. Had enough of this crap. Believe me, I wish I could leave today. And by the way, I'm writing here about the MAJORITY of blacks, not all. One of the coolest CFIs I flew with happened to be black. I'd say, one in a million.
@jksn008 It just pisses you off that I'm right. Deep inside you know it. I lived in US for 29 years. Worked for Delta for almost 10. I remember when Delta came out with a flight training program for its employees. They pay the flight training and all you have to do is fly for 6 years, for a commuter codesharing with delta. I flipped. I felt like I won the lotto, as I only had my private at the time. Then I found out that program is for blacks only.
Lastly I applaud steve for taking a stand for OUR communities not making any apologies and using our own resources to effect change, And to all the whites and others on here support your own neighborhoods and make an informed decision to help. Most of you tell us to help ourselves stop using govt assistance etc. So when we do STOP CRITIQUING US AND GET A LIFE.
Being a black man that lives in Detroit I know how fast a young man can get murdered or killed just by existing TELL ME WHAT WHITE MALE CAN PUT THAT ON HIS LIST OF POSSIBLE OUTCOMES.. Yet you have them on here commenting on this is racist if its only for black males ...I will not even address the idiots that made those statements. If you dont get it then to hell with you watch the video damn.
IT is amazing how other races jump on here and protest on how could this be for African american boys how dare steve make this just for them what about us??? It is beyond comprehension where the hell are these jackasses when African american boys are murdered in forgotten neighborhoods and not graduating and or in foster care with extremely limited options.
Who's paying for this? If this is only for black kids, than it's racist! This should be for all kids with low income, not just black! If this was made for only white low income families, it would make CNN!
@plsniper Oh my God how dumb for you to make a thoughtless comment like this. Quickly let me give you some facts Bigot. African American males are in Prison rather than college and in most major cities do not graduate from high school period and die before the age of 25 due to homicide. When the white low income kids you refer too hit those numbers then white ass get back to me until then kick rocks.
@jksn008 I agree with what you just wrote. It is true that most blacks are in prison rather than college. But, you say that this is why they should get free education? This is why they should get free flight schools? Because they are low life animals they should get free handouts? LOL Let me guess, your thinking is so fucked up because you're black too. You call your low life stealing and murdering race underprivileged? FU a..hole! Go to work and earn your collge. F.n parasites. PARASITES!!!
@plsniper All of this from a race of bigots rapists and invaders and originators of genocide in foreign countries and that is just some from a long list of what your founding fathers called logical i.e. colonization lol. Not to mention legalized slavery. By the way asshole this isnt free but paid for by other black professionals so go straight to hell with your bigotry and stupidity although it fits you but take em straight to hell just the same.
@plsniper So if using legalized slavery for well over 300 years to create a legacy of underclass citizens for your benefit then that is several steps beyond parasites .............Its called the white race in all its glory.......and it must be true look at your tired and demented comments.
@abefijmnqruvy so ignorant If you didnt know, Aviation is dominated by the caucasian race, there just giving african american kids the chance to see that you dont have to be white to like aviation, and that they can do something with their life.
@abefijmnqruvy What you dont understand is that Steve Harvey has his foundation for young African Americans and he wanted to show them other African Americans who are actually doing it in real life. I really dont think we African Americans would be inspired if we saw White people doing it.
@SpartanW98 What about you ? if you want to sign up with that program you are more than welcome to join. Its about kids who do not have fathers in their lives being shown the way by men who care. Most white parents would not sign their kids up because of pride but then get mad at the same time.
Very nice video, im a pilot and wouldnt trade it for the world. But if somebody made a all white program like that, black ppl would say that would be racist. Which is messed up.
Wonderful! How great for AA to reach out to the community like this, I am sure this is not the only contribution they do and Ill love to see more! Great job! thanks
AMAZING!!! Thanks Steve for ALL THAT YOU DO!!
