How to work hard to raise a young, successful black man in america?

not to throw race in there but the odds are against him. he is 3 and his dad hasnt seen him in months but out there making more babies. how can i make sure my child becomes successful on life. i dont want him on drugs committing crimes or gay. i know he is young but i wanna do everything in my power to train him accordingly

1. 'Or gay' Now thats comedy.
2. '' Or gay'' ???????? LOL
3. Teach him how to kiss the white mans ass
4. Just be a good parent, and you'll do fine. Emphasize the importance of education, and encourage him in every way you can.
5. My dear, you don't "train" little boys and little girls, they're not dogs you know. Your job as a mother aside from providing them with the essentials and keeping them safe, is teach them the ways of the world and guiding them and being there for them through out their lives. There are several black men who have became successful and intelligent, president obama for starters. I wouldn't say the odds are against him, give the little guy a chance.
6. Teach him that everybody is responsible for their own lives, instead of allowing him to find a scapegoat to justify his failures and laziness like most GS men do.
7. You need to establish a culture of expectation--you expect him to be a good guy and won't accept anything less. He gets no passes when he acts up, he gets no sympathy when he gets a poor grade in school, etc. YOU need to have high standards, and make him adhere to and respect those. It's all on YOU, mom.
8. If you don't want him on drugs or committing crimes: 1) don't raise him in a bad neigborhood where he will be influenced by it. 2) have a husband who actually knows how to be a father. If you don't want him to be gay: 1) if he's born gay then he's gay. Thats genetic. 2) if he's born straighht and you don't want someone confusing his sexuality with rape, again, don't raise him in poor environments.
