This is another bad case of (liberal) White Guilt. The liberal feels guilty of a perceived injustice then enact programs that are often out of touch of the needs of the recipients. We do not need Wi-Fi but entrepreneurs. Instead of make more dependant to other how making then self-sufficient.
For example young people in Borneo, I had seen many teens of poor families have access to the net though young entrepreneurs setting up small internet cafés. They do not spend much time “enriching” themselves but play network games or chatting with online friend. They can duplicate same thing in the black community. There problem a few hustlesers that can be persuade to set up and make money running an ISP or and internet café than selling drugs. |

Now THAT is the entrepreneurial spirit. |

Using a refurbished PC she picked up for $100, the 47-year-old mother of two adult children is now going online to help her son find a job, get health information and, she says, pay tribute to neighbors who've met with violent or untimely deaths.
"I want to get more literate," says Casey, who receives disability payments, and subsists on just over $1,000 a month. "I see other people working on computers, and little kids pecking on the things, and I thought to myself: 'I've got to learn.'"
