The African-American community has the following problems at much higher rates than whites and the USA and general:
-crime
-poverty
-low high school & college graduation rates
-single parent homes
-drug use
-unemployment
The government tried to deal with some of these issues with welfare programs such as Section 8, SNAP, WIC, TANF, but these only helped the very immediate financial issues without helping anyone become self-reliant.
So what do we need to do? Is there anything larger society can do or does the black community have to literally fix itself?
