I hope you are enjoying the end of your summer!! I read an article on Bloomberg wanting to "help" black and Latino men ....here is some of it., along with my thoughts...
place job-recruitment centers in public-housing complexes where many young black and Latino men live, retrain probation officers in an effort to reduce recidivism, establish new fatherhood classes and assess schools on the academic progress of male black and Latino students.
ok ...job recruitment centers IN PUBLIC HOUSING!! why does it have to be in the hood?? why can't those young men be taught to get off their arse and integrate into a sight that has ALL colors??? I know i know...we want them to be "comfortable " in their area...... yes, comfort in your area means less success and effort to try new things!!! wake-up!!! you should always be willing to try something new if its free and will help you as a person!!!
2. retrain parole officers...really? why they don't get paid for much..are we going to give them compassion and an eye to spot bull*&^% when they see it, so that they can turn themselves in when they allow repeat criminals easy passes OR don't give resources to brothers who really want to make a change...the only way to "reduce recidivism.....JOBS!!! give companies incentives for hiring ex light criminals (no pedophiles, rapist, sorry).. so that when they get out they don't have to commit a crime because they have gainful employment with benefits....teach them in the centers NOT to have 3 and 4 babies with no schooling, because that will only lead to pressure and baby momma drama!!!
3. give them vouchers to community college....that will give incentive to finish high school....see it is so simple, if we really want to help and not hinder......don't feel sorry for me, teach me how to fly on my own so that i don't need you!! that's real...have a great day and know you are loved, blessed and highly favored!!! xo
