To completely try and make up for something that one really cannot is foolish and although your idealistic view is commendable, its just not going to, nor should it happen.
The programs failed because they are flawed from the beginning. We tried to help people of color by integrating them into white institutions. The only way to help them is to allow them to create their own institutions. Stop allowing whites to create programs to help blacks, most white people have no perspective on how to help people of color, the only people that can do that are people of color. I have met some people that have some much better ideas then the ones implemented right now....I wonder why.
