However, the challenges of reversing the negative circumstances facing African American men requires transforming a broad array of social, political, economical, psychological, &amp; educational issues that are deeply rooted in the very power structure of America. On one hand, the society espouses rhetoric of concern &amp; desire to elevate Black males, but, on the other hand, practices a policy of oppression, prejudice, &amp; disregard. Put differently, the experience of the Black man in America seems to be one in which he is called &#8220;mister&#8221; but is treated with a &#8220;niggardly&#8221; regard. &amp; the result is the positioning of Black males at the lower rungs of society &amp; their experiencing underachievement in almost all aspects of life.
