How Do We Stop Black Men From Killing Each Other?

[Nashop4]

Take Responsibility for Our actions!!!

First, there is not a single answer to that question, but one of the main solutions would have to be self accountability. For whatever strange reason, we, black men, like to justify our negative behavior; we blame our actions and behaviors on our fathers not being in our lives during childhood, growing up in a "rough" environment, and a lack of love, etc..etc...etc....Secondly, we have to simplify some situations that could lead to questionable situations. For instance, right is right, and wrong is wrong. If we have to think about whether or not something is right or not, then maybe we do not need to do it. So, take responsibility for our ACTIONS, and be preventive as much as possible so that we are not placed in tough predicaments.

Excellent response but all humanity regadless of culture and particularly the minds of impressionable youth function on what is known as the "herd mind" and that is why so many Black folks work 14 hours per day to get thier children into private school, not just for the education but for the right peer pressure as well.
Understanding psychology most folks regadless of race are suportives, or dynamic supportives and few are dynamic assertives or dynamic agressives that think outside the box.

the novel "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding illustrates how the herd mind operatesand how crucial peer pressure is regarding adolescent behavior.

You would think that by now, a hand full of successful rappers would be putting their experience
of the business and their resources together to create, not only their own label (and own their masters),
but also set up distribution centers.

And definatey we need radio stations and cable TV as well as at least one of those BS HDTV 11-2, 13-3 stations,
so that Da Ghetto Tymz, and Immortal Technique and his crew can have a free platform nationwide
