The Black races Deepening Problem

Black men in the United States face a major problem involving common employment and educational statistics , according to a group of new scholarly studies. In recent years, these problems have escalated, even as an economic boom and a welfare overhaul have helped black women and other groups that are in need. These studies, which were started by experts at such schools as Columbia, Princeton, and Harvard, exhibit that the huge pool of badly-educated black men are being disconnected from the mainstream society, much more so than white men or Hispanic men. These problems are occurring even more so in the inner cities of the United States. In these settings, a black man finishing high school is rare, legal work is for a black man is even rarer, and prison is more or less automatic. Lately, incarceration rates are climbing for blacks, even during a time when urban crime rates are declining. The professor of social work at Columbia, Ronald B. Mincy, stated that,"There's something very different happening with young black men, and it's something we can no longer ignore." Mincy is also the editor of "Black Males Left Behind". The levels of unemployment in this country are high, but remain inaccurate, because they fail to take into account people who don't wish to have a job and those who are incarcerated. It is quite obvious that what the government is doing at this present time for these black men in trouble is not working, and something needs to be done.
Now, many black men are being considered inferior, and for the most part, have always been discriminated against in the history of the U.S. During the 1800s, slavery became a major problem in the United States, and many people began to say that slavery was wrong and needed to be stopped. Many other, usually people from the South, wanted to keep slavery, acting as if though blacks were property. Even after the black slaves were freed, they were discriminated against, were not allowed to have many of the rights whites had, and also didn't gain most rights until well into the 1900s. It is a shame that discrimination existed back then, and even exists today. The black males that are in financial trouble today must be assisted by the government or by those who have wealth and power immediately.
