Of course not, because you'd then have to admit that the Black community is doing little to nothing about the problems of Blacks' disproportionate levels of undereducation, the over-representation of Blacks dependent on welfare, and the extremely high Black on Black violent crime rate.

I see that no answers are forthcoming. Is that because no one knows, or because nothing is being done?

It could be both.

But whether or not i know or don't know...or if something or nothing is being done, i'm not answering that question regardless.

I don't need to explain these things to non-blacks. Nor do i want to.

Neither is the white community. What is the white community doing to help Black Americans?

Sure, it's called the majority of the Black population, which then votes for Democrats in an inexplicable act of self-destruction:

It's because nothing is being done. Hard to feel any sympathy for a group that refuses to help themselves.

I was specifically asked to talk to Black people about it. The requester made it exclusive to Blacks.

it's not exclusive to blacks. Why are blacks more obligated to help the black community than you are?

OK, then set the standard and tell us what the Black community is doing, and what you think the white community should be doing to 'measure up' by doing as much as Blacks are doing.

How do I know the White community supports such actions? By their votes: 59% vote Republican, 39% vote for Democrats.

Demographics of How Groups Voted in the 2012 Presidential Election

The majority of Whites would like to see policies in place that would help Blacks, actually ALL Americans.
