Rating: 3.5


The Black Enigma
In many big cities both in America and in Europa there is
an under- class of black people or shall we say people of
African background, but that will not be correct as many
black people come from Jamaica, Trinidad where their
forefathers have lived for generations.
The black youths seem unable to lift themselves out of this
mire although many black women have they are a shining
example it is possible to get an education move upward.
Alas, it is not the case of the black male for whom idleness
is a way of life and of petty crime to get money and a car
going to jail a prize they accept paying a ticket to respect
amongst their peers - losers- a possibility to become a gang
member and to be loyal to its violent creed.
To solve it white do- good people should stay away and let
black individuals who have been successful the state can
provide leadership
the money to schools and teachers must be provided by
the state if not, there will be revolts every year amongst
the haves and the haves not because we keep patronising
and finding excuses for the black male which is debasing
and racism at its worst
