Two minutes of research, . . . and the problem becomes clear: Solving Black Inner-City Poverty.
The above link is a discussion about the problems of the inner-city of Chicago held on 26 October 1988. It reads exactly as a similar discussion would read today. The inner-city young men of 1988 which he describes sound exactly like the inner-city young men of 2017.
Mr William Julius Wilson concludes that "that inner-city poor blacks endorse mainstream values. They believe in the value of work. They are critical of welfare. They are as mainstream in terms of their expression of attitudes. And their support of traditional values as any middle-class white American."
His solution is a massive inner-city jobs program to put the unemployed, especially the unemployed youths, especially the unemployed young men to work.
Maybe.
If someone can come up with jobs the inner-city youths can and will perform and which provide some benefits to the community.
DonDiego doesn't know if that is possible, . . . even 29 years later.
DonDiego supposes those who are successful within the "thug life" might not be interested.
