President Obama will launch a significant new effort Thursday to bolster the lives of young minority men, seeking to use the power of the presidency to help a group of Americans whose lives are disproportionately affected by poverty and prison.
The “My Brother’s Keeper” initiative will bring foundations and companies together to test a range of strategies to support such young men, taking steps to keep them in school and out of the criminal justice system, a White House official said. Obama will also announce a more vigorous program to evaluate policies and publicize results to school systems around the country.
The effort will seek “to make sure that every young man of color who is willing to work hard and lift himself up has an opportunity to get ahead and reach his full potential,” the White House official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity ahead of the announcement. “The initiative will be focused on implementing strategies that are proven to get results.”
Obama had promised to launch a new project focused on young minority men during his State of the Union address last month. His focus on a relatively narrow demographic group is unusual for a president who usually stresses how his policies affect large swaths of the American public. It also comes after the first African American president has faced repeated criticism from those who say he is failing to pay enough attention to blacks and other minorities.

Clearly the midnight basketball failed.
Want to help them Mr. Obama? Stop incentivizing single parenthood and dependence on tax payers. Encourage two parent households...It ain’t rocket science.
More money pissed away to Black Preachers and urban training centers that are little more than gathering places for Gang members.
Want to help Black youths, Let the parents who care enough have vouchers for schools that teach.
Obama’s and Holder’s people are always looking for a “Keeper”. Animals need keepers. How about behaving in ways that don’t require that you need to be ‘kept’?
Some tribes in this country are more equal than other tribes.
He is going to Fast n Furious guns to all the misunderstood yoots. That should even the playing field. . .
Thugs helping thugs.
Minority youths are not "disproportionately affected" by prison. They commit disproportionately more crimes and, therefore, are incarcerated at a higher rate than those groups who commit fewer crimes.
0’s policies have already driven the unemployment rate of black males to an all time high, I’d be looking for someone more...competent to come up with a plan. This is about keeping keeping the urban democrat vote up, you can’t get 120% voter turnout without some walking around money.
Is there ANYTHING left under the sun that has NOT been thrown at this problem?
Maybe I should open my veins and let them suck out the blood.
Looks like some of Holders people are happy navigators (HPN).....
HPN....OK whitey....lets check your voter registrations ....
HPN....Looks like you need to make a couple of adjustments here....
OK now I see it......your colonoscopy is scheduled for next month.....and the insulin will be mailed as before...
HPN Thinks...."this desk job sure beats stealing cell phones and a once a year gig patrolling voting booths with my billy club."
Yeah....and that "Polar Bear Hunting" is sure hard on the knuckles.....now...with a few clicks of the mouse I can send a whitey down the Liverpool Pathway...just like the brothers do in the UK...
(He also got the message about hiding the screen image of his laptop)....

LONDON, June 21, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - An eminent British doctor told a meeting of the Royal Society of Medicine in London that every year 130,000 elderly patients that die while under the care of the National Health Service (NHS) have been effectively euthanized by being put on the controversial Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP), n a protocol for care of the terminally ill that he described as a “death pathway.
When will blacks stop needing help?
I still think he should spend a few “bil” on Midnight Basketball. That’ll keep whitey away.
What a filthy, disgusting racist.
Everyone knows these sorts of "mission statements" are nothing but "El Toro PooPoo." What I don't understand is why anyone continues to use such verbal window dressing?
It's not like the beneficiaries or the victims don't know what's happening.
How do they type this crap without their heads exploding????????????
Here’s a likely scenario..
Declare minority youths as ‘children’ until age 40 or so.
Pay single mother benefits for those ‘children’.
Just not his own actual “brother”.
The best thing that can be done to help minorities is to keep them away from the DemocRAT party.
