2. More than that, we need a culture change

Whites need to be more responsible and generous. And African Americans need to rise up out of the mentality that education makes you an "Uppity Uncle Tom".

Society needs to assist and acknowledge people in the urban community who are working block by block, child by child, to build better communities.

Financial education - both personal and commercial - should be tailored for the audience and become so ubiquitous that no one can escape it.

In short - white people need to quit hating and fearing blacks, and blacks need to quit hating and fearing not being black enough.

Unfortunately, I am just an clueless white guy, so I suspect this is all drivel.
