Well said.

That is the main issue. They need someone that will teach them how to respond when these racial issues come up.

"No rioting is not the right way, lets try this...."

Also,

They just need someone that they can vent to and talk about their frustrations with. Young black men are constantly profiled all the time and they have a lot of anger and resentment towards law enforcement as a result. MLK did a lot of group discussions in youth groups about these issues. I think a potential leader could address similar things.

"How does it make you feel when you are stopped by a cop? Lets talk about it instead of rioting"
