The Black Enigma

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
