EPISODE NOTES

Host Name:	IL"BC" GROUP
Show Name:	Am I My Brother/Sister's Keeper?
Date / Length:	11/4/2009 2:00 AM UTC - 2 hrs
Description: h:8165 s:765077	Whenever the the topics of problems in the black American community are discussed (i.e. the outrageous out-of-wedlock birth rate, absence of fathers in the home, crime and incarceration, poor high school and college graduation rates, etc) the one recurring question people ask is "well what are YOU doing to fix the problem?" So I (Doncalypso) ask myself the following questions: Should those of us who "have it together" (i.e. stay on the right side of the law, take our education and employment seriously, no out-of-wedlock children or active participant in our children's lives if we do have children outside of marriage, etc) break our backs to clean up the mess that other people have freely and willingly created in their lives? Are we ever going to hold those who screw up their lives accountable for their actions and decisions? Should we spend tons of time and money trying to rehabilitate individuals with no desire to change their lives and improve their situations, or should we focus on empowering the upcoming generations so that they do not repeat the mistakes committed the generations of their parents and grandparents? Do we spend our time and effort fighting of an incurable virus or do we pour our resources in a "preventative medicine" approach to contain the infection and prevent it from spreading further? Are we our brother/sister's keeper? Must we take responsibility for individuals who refuse to take responsibility for themselves? Join me (Doncalypso), Purposed_1/Alvin III, and RoninSoul75 as we discuss the issue. expand
