When you point the finger at those young black men, just know that the finger is pointing back at the community. We are failing them before they are failing us. They are born into an institution that is failing them--the family. After that, the failing schools and irrelevant black church fail them. What's worse, these lost young black men or these fake black elected officials that are indifferent to their responsibility to the community. Their indifference is just as destructive.

@request2000 Anytime you hear grown black men calling young black men "terrorist", it's a sign that they have no solutions to offer. These grown black men can't seem to find a way to teach younger black men about healthy decision making. It's a clear sign that the community is sick--it can't raise its young people into maturity.

Agreed. I think it's a curse to be intelligent and Black. There is so much tomfoolery in the Black community particularly among our Black "leaders." That to give them a proper dress-down will get you hurt or at least threatened. How needs it? I am disengaging from any notion that Black folks can do right. 75% drop rate an those who do graduate are too many of them are functionally illiterate. We can not compete! with nobody! no where!

@request2000 Agree.

@request2000 Some Channels I go to where the Brothers and Sisters are real some

Dawahyisrael, WarOnTheHorizon, HarveySuperboy. There's brothas and sistas who are Waking Up. You right about the older generation, we did drop the ball. We should have confronted those Record companies. And the Toms, like Quincy Jones. But the popular thing to do was blame the kids. I'm sick of the older generation trying to claim a pass. If it wasn't for the ones who came before us where would they be?

@request2000 TRUTH! I didn't watch the whole video, when he said a few young black males I had to shut it off. He sounds like some old Uncle Tom Minister. He didn't mention the hit job Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae did on home ownership in the black community. . He didn't mention Police brutality or Gentrification. He didn't mention Arab and White businesses in the community, he didn't mention the unemployment rate for Y B M. The Black schools don't get the same funding. What is he talking about?

Urban terrorist is a perfect term.. What your advocating reminds me of how black street was in Tulsa before the 1921 race riot.. they had nothing but exceptional black business's, schools, etc... would be nice if the hood was like that in these days and times...

@mmfmmf332 I agree. What did Tupac say "We were born in the World we didn't make it". I don't how the presenter can say that young Black males destroyed the neighborhood. I guess he doesn't know about Head Drug Dealer Ronald Ray-Gun and his top henchman Oliver North. I'm not down with what the Brother is saying. We are in a System designed to destroy our minds.
