it is a good question. I think we are too segregated for any help to really take hold . When you, I and anyone look for help anywhere we thiink of our community. Our neighbors, for religious people their church, school, people with shared hobbies. Some shared idenitiy.
The problem with black and non black communities ii the lack of integreation which both races share fault in and include:
1) blacks often live in black neighborhoods
2) blacks go to black churchs (and whites to to white churches)
3) blacks often go to black schools, even at the college level
4) tblacks have an black identiy for music, BBQ, and hobies that further segregates
At this level of segreation and diminished shared community it is hard to really help one another. I think slow but steady integration is a neccessary first step before we can even really seriously look at "what can whites " do to help the black community.
On a sidenote the idea of black community and cuture is awesome. They certainly gifted much of the USA (I am assuming you are American) with amazing music from disco, to motown to other types of music and dance ( I stilll love soul train tv show) to other forms of art.
But some integration, cutureally speaking is a neccessary first step before we can even really look at a question like "do white people do enough to help black people"
