If our black community stops iwth all the excuses about how the white man and the china man and thee indian man are working together and that we have to change for black people there needs to be a stronger movement. going into these projects and enforcing new change. if need be bring the military into these streets and have the military bring peace and rebuild the projects. if gund shops and alchoal are in their reach then it leaves them with an excuse to continue violence and continue the excuses.

Instead we keep our eyes close and our mouths shut to the violence and drug dealing in our communities caused by us. We go out and protest when a white cop kill a black young man, who was in the process of commiting a crime. Why is our community so tolerant of negative behavior? Help to put a stop to the negative behavior, and promote the need for an excellent education; we will be well on our way to narrowing the wealth gap.

And as Joint Center would share with you, ABC paid for the event and suggested the event. If we are going to change the wealth gap for African Americans than it is going to take federal/state policies and on the ground strategies. We have been at this for 5 years with a wealth of data on Baltimore, Maryland and nationally - long before many of the groups today even began the discussion. So needless to say quite disappointed that our leadership was neither recognized nor acknowleged as though it could not have come from "local up to national" to ask them to have this conversation.
