Failing Little Black Boys
|
Posted By: Art Malloy on August 30, 2006 I have to admit that I am saddened by the title of this post. For after pondering and seeking truth and reality about little Black boys, I am left with the unquestionable realization that little Black boys are the most forgotten and overlooked group in America. Let me make my point with questions. How many educated men (Black or White) do you know that take the time to impart knowledge and hope into little Black boys? How many little Black boys do you know that are looking for someone that they can call "daddy"? In which state is there an agency that can tell a father who pays child support what the money was used for? When has the church taken up an offering to assist little Black boys in its neighborhood? Does the school system care enough to have an alternative if they kick them out? Finally, what happens to these forgotten and neglected little Black boys when they start to realize that the schools don't care, children services and child support agencies really don't care, the church really doesn't care, sometimes their real dad, really doesnt care. They are left to fend for themselves. The gangsta rap stars become their role models. They become obsessed with things and bling and their heads are filled with......well......nothing that you imparted into them. So is it their fault? Or is it our collective fault? My vote is for the latter. Mentor a young Black boy today. You can even change the color from little Black boys to little White boys, if you like, because poor (economically disadvantaged) little White boys are often in the same predicament.

You know, some publication I read lately was about boys being left behind in education. How in elementary, middle and high school, teachers are more geared to the way girls learn. The gap begins early on, the article claimed. I go with collective fault.

Joyce, I agree with you. It is our collective fault. Irresponsibility and blame games should end and we should just take care of our boys, keep them off the street, teach them manners and show them how to love by example so they want be searching for love in a crew. Sorry, I am rambling now. Thanks for your comment.
