Look mate we're never going to improve as a race if we don't confront the issues. Until we realize the issues within our community nothing will change.
Some issues that come to mind is education. A lot of black people need to seek a better education than what they are getting now. Same with us ignoring black on black crime as well. This is how cities like Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore etc. have crime. Those are some issues that I can think of right now, but are important issues because it affects how other people view us.
