It’s devastating to know the statistics that have been recorded presenting the dropout rates of black males particularly in the United States in Oakland California. It’s seldom to find a high percentage of black males graduating from the Oakland’s school district, but statistics commonly show black males who unfortunately don’t live to see their graduation day due to black on black violence. The odds of black males dropping out of school or being killed before they get a chance to graduate are sky rocketing in the low income black communities of Oakland California. There are several rigorous steps that need to be put into effect in order for Oakland’s black male youth to positively prevail through the negative endeavors of their communities. In order to overcome the statistics that have been repeatedly proven to be factual in the black community for black males, it’s important that the black community bands together. Taking a stance to positively reconstruct the educational system and environment for young black males will greatly be beneficial to black males seeking higher education.
