Fatherlessness is a disease, I used to stand back and say this and say that. Then I started volunteering, then I started mentoring. And all many of these young men need is guidance.
As older black men 25plus, should we be mentoring the youth

Ehhh, with mentoring you really have to become an active role in these young men's lives and with all the distractions and fukkery going on nowadays, it's an uphill battle that might end up as an epic waste of time at the end of the day.
From my personal experience, it's best to just drop some gems every now and then while not coming off as some high and mighty know it all, lead by example, and just hope for the best.

Yes. One of my goals in life is to be a mentor. I really wanted to open up some kind of program that provided inner city youth with computers and musical equipment just as an outlet for kids to express their creativity and network with each other and other like minded kids their age.

Great idea. Someone should pay--with money or privileges--older black men with degrees and/or money to mentor youths.

We should make a non-profit and ask the government as well as corporations for start-up money to recruit black mentors.

I think only the successful 25+ men should end up as mentors.
As long as its from a Pro African standpoint and anti c00n and anti bougie stance. Young men need to understand about respect and protection for the community and Black women, also instill a anti west/amerikkkan and white mentality so that they can remove all the emasculation and soft hearted nature they've adopted from being fatherless and around nothing but females who are naturally subservient to the hostage situation we're in.

They need fathers.
I see completely where you're coming from, and its true, there will be those you invest much time in and things don't work out turn out how you would like. BUT, the same can be said about your own children. Is it a waste of time then? I would say no, so I'll say it's never a waste of time... You're helping expand the minds of the future, fellow beings of the universe who share your own struggle.
Now I'm not saying go completely selfless with this, but you know... Someone has to care about us, because other races don't seem to.
like 25 and up guys arent lost themselves....hell look @ our 40 year olds.....theyre lost aswell....
