I would start a boarding school for poor black boys. The mission of the school would be to equip my boys with the tools to become real men. It would do this by instilling a strong moral character based on traditional western values woven throughout the curricula. I would teach them that the world is there for their taking, that in America anyone has the opportunity to achieve their dreams. I would point out successful black men - men that beat the odds and didn't let anyone or anything stop them from achieving their dreams. Men like Damon John, Barak Obama, Russel Simmons, Michael Jordan, Sean Combs - how did they succeed in spite of so called "white privilege" and "systematic racism"? Uncover the common traits and attributes of successful black men in all walks of life regardless of wealth and stature and develop ourselves into better men.
Classes in business, marketing, economics, woodworking, technology, mechanics, and the trades would be required as well. We'd also have a vigorous athletic program, focusing on leadership, teamwork, and sportsmanship, along with a great conditioning program. Upon graduation, graduates will know how to sweat a pipe and keep a set of books, make his bed, and recite the 10 Commandments. Graduates will be confident, independent, well-rounded men.
It's a small long-term solution that will take years to bear real fruit, but 10 years from now we'll be asking the same damned question if we don't start doing instead of talking. As my father used to say to me more than I'd like to admit, more paw work, less jaw work.
I would like though, someone to define racism. My understanding is that Racism's evil twin brothers Subjection and Genocide were always lurking close by. I don't see any evidence of that in America on any scale. What was once called bigotry and prejudice is now called racism, in my opinion anyway.
King Randall established The “X” for Boys in 2019 and opened a boarding school for young men in his home town of Athens, GA in 2022. I saw Mr. Randall when he was interviewed on Fox News and have donated to his school each year. His X for Boys is changing lives.
