Why Complacency Is Costing the African American Family

Kenny Pugh of Black Enterprise lays out a good perspective on this subject

In his article he pose the following question with sound supporting points
  1. Why are so many of us not finishing high school and opting to simply underachieve?
  2. Why are so many of us looking for the quick-fix hustle and instant wealth gratification?

Kenny ends by stating the following
"We are not only basketball players or football players, but we can become influential members of society. There is nothing wrong with becoming a doctor, lawyer, entrepreneur (legal of course) or corporate executive(s). Start dreaming big, but remember that an entire generation will be lost if we continue at our current pace. The black man’s absence is causing the black family to miss out on generational wealth and legacy building. We CAN’T afford for this to continue!"
