Saw Madows talking about this and wanted to get some of y'all's opinions since we have a crime issue amongst young Somali men.
I feel like mentorship is only useful only if the kid is actually interested in wanting a mentor. Especially one that advocates for a certain career.
Like these Madows on twitter want single black professional men to return to the hood but a lot of the young dudes they want to mentor wouldn't be interested in the careers these niggas work in.
Like for example I had a few uncles that were college educated and worked in professional fields. As a kid I honestly thought they had a boring life because at the time I was only interested in cool shit. Like at 13 year I fully believed I would have been a WWE wrestler by the age of 25.
Also the only time I've had a black mentor was when I was in college and actually wanted help.

Personally I would recommend more programs that push poor and dumb 18 year olds into the military or into the trades.
