To make this short WHERE ARE YOU! For the most part growing up I was not influenced by any black lawyers, teachers, authors, doctors or any other professionals growing up. Nor were any black people that I grew up with. Only the athletes and entertainers on television who were succesful and making money.
I know that if some of these young brothers saw more professional black people they would learn that they can do it too.
I recall Kahlil Gibran saying in his book "the prophet" something like
"If a rich man gives his money it is good... but if he gives his time it is great."
I have searched for anyone to give their time to the youth. Even a few words of wisdom can impact a persons life.
Please Upper Middle Class and Upper Class African Americans you may not see the condition of these niebhorhoods but I do and I think you all can make a differance.
Thank you for your time.
Peace and love for all.
