He won't heed any advice that requires him to confront reality.
You problem you see, as an outside observer isn't just one thing.
Some foreign observers think our problem is that we lack racial homogeneity, like Japan.
Others claim our problem is "Black people," but that every other race is fine.
Some blame racial tensions solely on poverty, and the fact that Blacks are overrepresented among the poor.
Others blame the inner city public schools, public housing, and even the police.
Of course, there are those who say, "it's all Whitey's fault!" (What isn't, right?)
It isn't race, as much as there is racial disparity. If it were a matter of race, then why are Africans some of the most successful immigrants to our country, both financially and educationally? It isn't a DNA problem.
Poverty and crime are definitely linked, but it's typically the inverse that's more true: criminality perpetuates poverty("crime doesn't pay"...least of all VIOLENT crime).
Fatherless homes are a huge factor, and probably the single most important of many factors. Too many fathers think "knowing" and being "influential" in their bastards' lives makes them father-of-the-year, when, in reality, if your children don't live under your roof, where you're head of your own household, you might as well just be an uncle. Until this is accepted, no significant progress will be made.
The single biggest problem, though, is that the Black community, in America, has become poisoned by hatred, envy, bitterness, spite, and resentment....especially(though, not exclusively) in the poorest communities...which is a triple tragedy, because these are the emotions that lead to violent crime, make men stupid, and keep men poor.
In the poorest Black, urban communities, Blacks who reject formal education are being taught a parallel alternative history, in which Blacks are gods, and Whites are a demon race, invented in a lab experiment, only to escape and to steal civilization from Blacks. Why would anyone believe that nonsense? Because yielding to negative emotions turns men into chicks with diicks, and only tanks a masculine IQ. Women's brains can do the butterfly stroke through a flood of estrogen, but those chemicals drown a man's analytical mind. The internet has only made it worse.
The saddest thing is that this problem is simple to solve, by applying the airplane emergency procedures approach: restore the oxygen to your own brain, first, before attempting to help the people close to you.
