The True Name Of God (YAH)
Violence is the number one killer of children between the ages of 15-24. In 1989, the FBI
released statistics that 21,500 people died as the victims of homicides. That translates into a
homicide rate of 8.7 per 100,000 population. The homicide rate for young males ages 15-24 is
21.9 per 100,000. The homicide rate for young black males in this age category is 85.6 per
100,000! The overall homicide rate for young males in the United States was between 4 and
73 times higher than the homicide rate for young males in any other industrialized nation.
Firearms were used in three-quarters of the homicides in the United States. The top five
"lethal" cities in the United States are Detroit, Washington, D.C., Dallas, Jacksonville, and
Baltimore. William Julius Wilson at the University of Chicago established that homicide rates
soar in neighborhoods where men have no jobs, children are raised without fathers, and social
institutions are in disarray. The correlation between poverty and violence is a well-established
factor in social science literature. Being poor in America means living in a devastated,
crime-ridden neighborhood. It often means growing up in a family without a father and going to
schools where most students fail.

Many young men of color suffer from "Black self-hatred." This is not genetically induced, but
results from years of conditioning in the social environment. Many of these young men are
growing up without fathers or significant role models. They seek and learn behavior from
television and movies. It only seems just that this teenager will consider carrying a gun when
he has identified with gangsters in any of the many "Gang" movie plots. This factor combined
with constant confrontations with police only seems to solidify to this young black man that he
is "bad." Police often react by treating all young black men "the same." The general
assumption is that if they are on the streets, they are planning a crime or looking to
"gang-bang." Everyone is aware that every teenager who is seeking independence feels a
strong sense of adult ambivalence. Therefore, many of these teens see any intervention by
the police as harassment and excessive. The reality is that these young men have been
forced to "raise" themselves as many have no fathers and their mothers may be forced to work
two minimum wage jobs just to feed and cloth them. Without appropriate role models, they
seek the advice and support of friends. This may lead them to participate in risk taking
behavior but often just places them in "the wrong place at the wrong time." Many of these
young men also carry weapons because their inner-city neighborhoods are overridden with
gangs and drug dealers.

The program against violence has to originate from a multi-disciplinary approach. There must
be community support financially, spiritually, and physically. This must include parental
involvement, educators involvement, and strong support from church (Israelites). Community
focus groups and forums will delineate the problem at the source it is arising. Not every issue of
violence is the same from one neighborhood to the next. Once this objective has been met, an
aggressive program focusing on conflict resolution and self-esteem building must be instituted.
This program ideally needs to be initiated in the young, elementary student. Most scientists
agree that cognitive and behavioral patterns become very well defined by the adolescent
years. This is not disregarding the teenager, but an effective violence prevention strategy
should work like the "public health model" and address the primary issue of prevention before
the problem has been identified. More aggressive strategies of conflict resolution and
self-esteem building should be instituted at the adolescent level. This approach must include
mentoring programs so that fatherless young men can have role models that are supportive
and exemplify African-American adult survivors.
