Plight of Young Black Men: The Scars and the CrisisMalik Miah

RECENT STUDIES HAVE reaffirmed a long known reality: young poorly educated Black men are disproportionately disconnected from mainstream society.  The numbers are significantly worse than for Latinos, Asians and whites.

“There’s something very different happening with young Black men, and it’s something we can no longer ignore,” said Ronald B. Miney, professor of social work at Columbia University and editor of Black Males Left Behind (Urban Institute Press, 2006), quoted in an article by Eric Eckholm in The New York Times.  (“Plight Deepens for Black men, studies warn,” March 20, 2006)

Neoconservatives, of course, point to these new studies by scholars from Columbia, Harvard, Princeton and other top universities as proof that poor education and lack of job training—and of desire—are the source of the crisis.  They add that the massive social spending of the past three decades originating with the Great Society has failed and feeds this disproportionate decline.  The blame is on the victim, not on society.

In truth these studies, once again, show the pernicious nature of institutional racism in U.S. society.  It isn’t a lack of desire or ability to learn and function in mainstream society.  It is being placed in a deep hole to crawl out of to compete with others.  The question is, is it possible to turn that reality around, and how?

Unique Burden of History

African Americans—men and women—suffer a unique historical scar.  The legacy of slavery and legal segregation affects their view of themselves and the view of other Americans towards Blacks, especially young Black men.

Mindsets and behaviors—subjective factors—are socially driven.  This is why it is doubly if not triply difficult for young Black men to move out of inner cities and end generational cycles of poverty.  The New York Times, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and other mainstream papers have interviewed inner city youth and gotten the same response—”You’re not telling us anything we don’t know.”

Young Black men who do not finish high school are more than likely to have a difficult time getting or holding a job, to spend some time in prison and a life of crime in order to survive.

“These were among the recent findings,” writes Eckholm.

“he share of young Black men without jobs has climbed relentlessly, with only a slight pause during the economic peak of the late 1990’s.  In 2000, 65 percent of Black male high school dropouts in their 20’s were jobless—that is, unable to find work, not seeking it or incarcerated.  By 2004, the share had grown to 72 percent, compared with 34 percent of white and 19 percent of Hispanic dropouts.  Even when high school graduates were included, half of Black men in their 20’s were jobless in 2004, up from 46 percent in 2000.

“Incarceration rates climbed in the 1990’s and reached historic highs in the past few years.  In 1995, 16 percent of Black men in their 20’s who did not attend college were in jail or prison; by 2004, 21 percent were incarcerated.  By their mid-30’s, 6 in 10 Black men who had dropped out of school had spent time in prison.

“In the inner cities, more than half of all Black men do not finish high school.”

Why Young Black Men?

The studies’ focus is insightful and pertinent, because young Black men top the list of all social groups in the Black community to have the least advancement since the end of Jim Crow legal segregation.  (Black women have made more progress due to overall gains won by women.)

The so-called Black middle class is a growing social layer, but relative to the community as a whole it is quite modest in size.  The end of legal segregation has allowed that layer to move out of inner cities and live and work in predominantly white areas once considered off limits.

This reality has focused attention on the majority of African Americans unable to leave working class areas.  It is why the new studies are important and pose a challenge to society as a whole.

“With the shift from factory jobs, unskilled workers of all races have lost ground,” reports The New York Times, “but none more so than Blacks.  By 2004, 50% of Black men in their 20’s who lacked a college education were jobless, as were 72% of high school dropouts, according to data compiled by Bruce Western, a sociologist at Princeton and author of the forthcoming book, Punishment and Inequality in America (Russell Sage Press).  These are more than double the rates for white and Hispanic men.”

Uneven Playing Field

Robin Kelley in his book, Yo’ Mama’s Disfunktional: Fighting the Cultural War in Urban America (1997, Beacon Press), puts the plight of African Americans in perspective when he explains:

“Calls for color blindness and laissez-faire economic strategies also camouflage the critical role the state has played in reproducing inequality and creating an uneven playing field.  Tax laws and social welfare, retirement, and housing policies have impaired the ability of African Americans to accumulate assets while facilitating white access to wealth.  For most people the key to wealth accumulation is homeownership.  White homeowners in the post-World War II era enjoyed a dramatic rise in property values, which served as the basis for the baby boom generation’s upward mobility.  The return on their investment enabled them to pass on wealth as well as educational opportunities to their children.

“For most black folk, however, segregation shut off much of the post-World War II housing market.  To compound matters, Federal Housing Administration (FHA) policies of giving mixed and African American neighborhoods lower ratings, racial discrimination by lending institutions, redlining, and white flight—you name it—put black folks at a disadvantage in the housing market.”

Kelley goes on to point out the racial impact of zoning laws and lax enforcement in placing toxic waste sites hazardous landfills in minority communities, along with preferential infrastructure development in white suburban communities and the destruction of Black neighborhoods through “urban renewal.”  He concludes:

“What is important to recognize here is that middle-class and affluent white Americans have benefited from certain kinds of ‘affirmative action’ under a different name, i.e. government supports and subsidies, and that in virtually every Western country the state is employed to reduce poverty and create equality of opportunity and monitor discrimination.  The fact is, we do not have a free-market economy and never completely had a free-market economy.  Many of the problems minority workers and students face, and many of the benefits white workers and students receive, are not merely the product of thrift and hard work in a free-market economy but outcomes determined largely by government policy.”

Depth of Leadership Crisis

While there have been some improvements in the last decade during the housing market boom, the gap between white and Black ownership has persisted.  Institutional racism (including housing discrimination) is based on these structural disadvantages that the African-American community lived in the past and still suffers from today in its vast majority.

In addition, the studies highlight the crisis of leadership in society for the working poor and its most discriminated layers.  The lack of viable and effective civil rights and labor movements, both under attack, on bread and butter issues leaves the weakest segment of the population more defenseless.

The decline of relatively high-paying “blue collar” jobs in the auto, steel and airline industries in particular means there are fewer job opportunities for those who graduate from high school and trade school.  The “new” jobs tend to be in the lower-paying service sector with fewer benefits.  It is not a surprise that many Blacks see undocumented immigrants as taking jobs they might get.

The fact that unions are in decline (representing less than eight percent of the private sector and 12% including the public sector) impacts Black workers the hardest.  It is harder for Blacks to move from the industrial manufacturing sector to public sector jobs that pay comparable wages and benefits.  The de facto housing segregation has isolated young Black men in neighborhoods that are also remote from many of the better paying jobs in the public sector

The large number of Black men who have served time in prison is also an issue of voting rights.  In particular, a recent Human Rights Watch report shows how African Americans are arrested at disproportionate rates for drug violations, although whites in fact commit more “drug crimes” than Blacks.

During the 1970s, Blacks were twice as likely as whites to be arrested for drug-related offenses; by 1998, “with national anti-drug efforts in full force, Blacks were arrested on drug charges at five times the rate of whites.”  (www.hrw.org/reports)

Most states don’t allow people with criminal records to vote.  Most allow past criminal records to be used by employers to exclude people from job, housing, education and other opportunities.  This has led to campaigns in a number of states to prevent access to past criminal records.  In Massachusetts, for example, there is a drive to reform the CORI (criminal Offender Record Information) law. Some 2.8 million people in Massachusetts have served time and suffer form such background checks.

Plan of Action Needed

These few examples illustrate how institutional racism and class discrimination continue to permeate society.  Young Black men, not surprisingly, suffer the greatest from this reality.  So what can be done?

First, there must be a recognition that many of the problems facing young Black men are not unique to them.  It is necessary to build cross-ethnic alliances and working- class solidarity.  Second, the problem of lack of higher-paying jobs is not just about education and training.  As many labor experts and sociologists point out, you can have the best traditional skills but if there are no jobs due to outsourcing or global competition, you’re out of work.





There has always been attack upon the African father DNA and trying to keep his children oppressed. Private companies are doing phony ancestral DNA tests to gather information to help the Illuminati depopulate African male DNA. The science of war has stepped up yet your brains remain behind.

Lol..you bloody liar. Post your links or keep quiet.

They called it the greatest crime in American history. It was the Catholic churches rape of thousands of children in several US states, prosecutors were investigating to see if this gay manifesto had been done in all 48 states. Yet something stopped the investigation as we all know that the Church is involved in child rape in the Americas. The Black church in America is involved in child rape.


I won't post links cause you demand yet I share memes that show how you can research for yourself. PhD Donald Matthews exposes the black church and he is a minister himself.

Shuku:
Bisi Fayemi advocated for this some weeks ago and people on this forum heaped insults upon her. I think this is the only way to curb this rape madness in Nigeria. Castrate the animals. Offer them counselling so we don't unleash psychopaths on the society. RAPISTS and CHILD ABUSERS/MOLESTERS deserve NO mercy.

Death penalty for pedophiles.

1Sharon:
Post links for your statistics

Do your own research. There are a few doctors on record saying that child molestation is the root cause of pedophile lust. There are court records on child rape that exist in every nation. There is no gay gene.

1Sharon:
Where did you get those statistics from?

From psychologists who council and heal people afflicted with homosexuality. Yet look at it historically there has never been any homosexuals until the invention of the word. History records these people as those who love child sex as pederasts.. Men who lust on little boys and women who lust on little girls. These are perverted Western Europeans, Jews and nasty Blacks who have been mixed with them.

Greetings

Some of you stubborn ones are not getting the End Times knowledge particularly about mulattoes. Because of slavery and colonization now and in the past during Canaan there are Blacks with cave man DNA. Their bloodline would not exist if the Jew had not sired them. Abraham was not an African by no means. Abraham was the cave beast and he was used by Babylonian Cushites called Amorites aka Moors to conquer Canaan and mix with their daughters. The maternal DNA remained unchanged making them look Black or have dark skin. Yet the paternal DNA changed from that of the Cushite African father to the Abrahamic cave beast. This is how you get Black Jews anywhere in the world. Hebrews are a mixed group of people a genetic soup. These people have been used by the Moors and the cave beast to fight for world power against the original African kings who built Egypt. Egypt is over a 100, 000 years old and Babylon nor India compares. These are their traits and I spell it out, they love LGBT, White Jesus, open borders, legalized drug use, NASA, Western Europe ruling Africa, they hate African kingship or any notion that Africans are gods especially the African male. It is a war against the African father.

When you witness Corey Booker even Barack Obama on the casting couch know it means quid pro sex. Quid pro means you give me sex and I will put in in my movie, give you a record contract, help you win a political office. This is how the satanic Jewish world operates on mafia activity and sexual perversion. The Jews through the Vatican own the US government and own the US treasury. These are facts!

They are men and women who destroy the world. How can anyone knowing the high infection rate of Blacks via Aids support Sodomy? You don t love Black people if you are promoting anal sodomy. I don't care what name you are hiding it under.

Wake up out your slumber

JonDon12:
Also I support Cory Booker for President. Everyone knows he is Gay but he still does more for Black People than Elisha Muhammad or Louis X Farrakhan did.

You are living in delusion for real if you believe Corey Booker a Democracker, and as you can see on the love sofa with a nasty Jew , has done anything for Black people. Louis Farrakhan hasn't done anything for Black people except lead them to the Democrackers. Elijah Muhammad is the only one you mentioned that did something credible for Black people. People are destroying his name because these Jewish pawns like Farrakhan have disgraced it. Elijah Muhammad and Malcolm X were a winning team and the Jewish Blacks broke the team up and took over the Nation of Islam. The US government is running the Nation of Islam and that doesn't mean it's not Black Jews because there are tons of Blacks working for the US government the largest employer of Blacks is the federal government. Farrakhan said it right the US government had a hand in killing Malcolm yet you had Blacks working in the US government then and now. Louis Farrakhan is right again that the satanic Jews are behind the Illuminati yet fails to mention there are satanic Black Jews too.

They are the sons of Jewish slave masters via Negro bed wenches. And they share their Jewish fathers inclination for perversion, murdering and lying.

I will not ever accept those who come from a White man's sperm and a Black woman's egg as African. Check the record Africa is the land of the pure virgins and strict sexual culture. They had virgin culture in Asia too. The place of freaks is Western Europe and the Middle East which are nasty Jews and nasty Niggers. Check your geography Babylon, Canaan, Rome and Greece are in this region. Take a look at Germany where they now have dog brothels, France which is littered with brothels of every kind and England where gay marriage started. All these perversions would get the death penalty in most of Africa, prison or ran out.

You sure you understand what we were on about?

This thread is for proof not your commenting. Unless you are commenting on the proof you are presenting. Which I have yet to see you present any proof for anything.

That's right they practice ritual sodomy, quid pro sex and think they are immune to the Aids virus. Aids is Allah's Judgement Against Sodomy. It is Allah's Judgement Against Whoredom as well. They are engaging with the satanic Jew in all manner of perversion and cult prostitution which the Bible condemns in 1st Kings.

We must know who and what the Illuminati are. They are the Jews who have always kept families of black mulattoes as a buffer. These are black families that are related to them all over the world and members of their various cults. These blacks are nasty foul and always screaming racism and White Supremacy. Take Byron Ruskin who they found in the back seat of a car in acts of sodomy with a Whitemale. Not only are these Negro bed wenches sleeping with the Jew their perverted sons are too. This whole LGBT thing is their secret religion of Sodom and Gomorrah which existed in this very fashion. The cave beast and mulatto sons and daughters of Canaan were responsible for the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.The Black Diaspora highly mixed with Jews are at the root of it. I don't mean Africans those who paternal DNA trace to African fathers. I mean there is a bunch of Blacks whose bloodline is ancestrally Jewish. The Jews invented that melanin theory and the one drop rule that makes a Jew with one drop of Black blood suddenly African. These Blacks are carrying out their nature supporting the New World Order open borders, LGBT and giving validity to the Jewish fake ancestral DNA tests.

Sodomy is illegal in Nigeria and most of Africa.

So NOI Killed Malcom X and you a Nation of Islam Zombie comes here talking about Black solidarity. Let me tell you something. If you want to talk about what black people should do, visit Africa like Malcolm X did and then visit Mecca like he did before you can tell us what and how to be. You are not even a real Muslim. Nation of Islam is not allowed in Mecca . Only Farrakhan who is barely allowed in Mecca. And stop spreading hate and homophobia on Nairaland.

Na Ibo Anyi na-ekwu Biri Ka Mbiri.

If you understand what that means, come back and talk to us. If not keep slinging Final call in Detroit and stay off Nairaland.

You are shooting aimlessly


I'm not in the NOI or Detroit.
