As far I'm concerned,so far since President Obama's 2014 State of the Union Address.He's keeping his word as he has stated "2014 will be a year of action.On 02/26/2014 the President launched the Our Brothers Keeper Initiative.This Initiative is to help young men of color succeed in today's society,due to the deck being stacked against them.Already the President's newest action to help our young men of color in America,is being met with criticism & skepticism.It's the usual ones who straddle both sides of the fence,who's names I won't mention.I will tell you this though,they look like you and I.These are so called scholars of color who profess their love and concern for young men of color,still seem to have a agenda to discredit the President.One minute they're talking about the President not doing "Enough" and in the next breath they're criticizing & scrutinizing his efforts to make things better.I call these people "Agents of Distraction",who don't want us to believe or have hope for our young men of color.By way of the Presidents actions to improve their status in America's urban communities.I stand with the President and his agenda for young men of color,this is way over due.Now it's time for us to do our part,cause the President is counting on us to help make it happen.Our young men of color need to know we support them in their struggle & effort to become productive members of society.We must make it a priority to promote hope for those who believe it's hopeless.We must give them choices and convince them that inspite of the odds they can make it!"Mentorship & Critical Thinking"workshops must be applied by us with skills is this field. Consistency in developing healthy mindsets.Some young men are going to need mental health assistance.We need people who are willing to volunteer on all levels.These are our sons,grandsons,stepsons & nephews.Gun Violence & prison have claimed "Enough" of our young men of color.We must make a unconditional commitment to being our "Brothers Keeper".The President stated that the GOP frowns on his Initiative,because of money for programs.Still the the President indicated there is money which will be allotted to those who have programs that work and produce results for young men of color.We can also use our own resources & assets to help with cost.The naysayers are not with this Initiative cause they work for those who don't want to see the President's Initiative succeed.Their primary purpose is to be at distraction.Being "Our Brothers Keeper" will help our young men of color succeed.And succeed they will by way of God & us."This is not a Dream,this is the Mission"...No Violence-Know Peace!
