Do African American leaders and organizations know we live in a "STEMM" world?

The 5 Keys to Fixing Our Social and Economic Problems: 4. Understand that for the rest of our existence, Black people will live in a "STEMM" world, a world based on Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and Medicine (STEMM). If we are to survive, it will be because we understand and master "STEMM." We must teach Black... children accordingly. Factory jobs for the average & mediocre are now in China & Indonesia

African Americans Should Delay Having Children

The Goal; ensuring every lower income African American neighborhood is safe, clean, with excellent schools.

The Challenge; persuading young African Americans to delay having children.

The news media will report on all the ills of African Americans. They will report all the programs that provide charity but very little but change in the African American community. The media will remind the world about our fatherless, criminal, academically deficient, African American children. However, I am waiting on the news media to report on a mass movement that effectively persuades young African Americans to delay having children.


There seems to be a new study or book every month on the plight of lower income African Americans. We see some author or other “talking head” proving their expert analysis about poor performing African-American students being raised by single mothers. However, I am waiting for a group of these experts to suggest a mass movement to encourage young African Americans to delay having children.


A hundred years ago, having children as a young adult was cultural norm. A hundred years ago having a lot of children was an asset for African Americans. A hundred years ago all the diffident types of African Americans lived in the same community. Now African American children are being raised in a “post racial”, multicultural, class stratified, United States of America.


Will the news media, the always-studying-Black-folks experts, the purveyors of hip hop culture, the clergy, a host of black celebrities, or African American “leaders” help persuade young African Americans to delay having children so they can plan their life as parents?

African American Children Need Better Parents.

African American Children Need Better Parents.

I have spoken to thousands of Chicago Public School students via The Black Star Project. My experience has lead me to believe African American children need better parents.

The main reason why the African American schools are so bad is because there are not enough good parents. However, can you blame the parents?

Most African American parents are working class and the rest of us would be considered poor.

There are a disproportionate number of African American children living with their grandparents.

There are African American children who are wards of the state, who are foster children, or who are homeless.

We all know that most African American children in cities like Chicago do not live with their father.

There is so much destabilization in low-income African American neighborhoods, no one should be surprised education is far down on the list of values.
Then you have our urban culture that promotes consumerism and debauchery.

We could vastly improve these African American neighborhoods, but our leaders are so passive, or so self-serving, or so corrupt.

Most African American students need quality academic tutoring and life skills that will instill discipline.

We know what African American children need, but our children need African Americans not to be so passive, not to be self-serving, and not to be corrupt.

For What!

Dr. King and other Civil Rights leaders died for what?

Teach The Poor How To Become Rich!

All African American organizations and “leaders” should focus on teaching the poor how to become rich.

Most African Americans like most Americans are only a few pay checks away from poverty.

Most Americans will earn $1,000,000 to $4,000,000 during their working life.

If were taught to be financially prudent we could become millionaires.

Financial literacy is a necessity.
