Do you think that will work? Holding us to strict standards is one thing, but a higher standard is something altogether different.
Also, and again, there are an abundance of Black organizations out there attempting to help those who seek it. As a result, any anecdotal evidence any of us can come up with is not, as Nmaginate said, a representative sampling of our collective.
The best we can do for those we see not doing anything is to keep it moving -- keep striving to do what we do as individuals and as part of a group effort. They will either get with the program, or be swept aside by the momentum.
