I have mixed feelings on this. What do you think? As far as material wealth is concerned, we are all better off. But poverty and incarceration still disproportionately affect blacks.
As with anything else, it is up to the individual. Many people used the poverty programs as an opportunity to better themselves and become self-sufficient, others used it as a crutch to remain in poverty. Most things are cyclical, and if there aren't programs or (more importantly) investment in education and employment in out inner-cities those cycles will not be broken.
He's absolutely right. The problem is, old black folk are too full of pride to admit it and young black folk are not old enough to know the difference.
1 BIG thing that did keep many young Black people from getting too out of control was educated Black leaders in the "Black" areas during Jim Crow. When that racist JC crap was finally ended; many of those smart Black people moved OUT of the "hoods" into "anglo white" areas leaving the more helpless ones behind. Too; the hood rats in 2014 have NO idea how bad Jim Crow was because it ended about 50 years ago, otherwise they'd would NOT be putting down their own race for wanting to talk proper, get educated and so on.
i think blacks are worth today that they was 30 years ago, i think all the hate age and racist comments from the democratic obama partys had made people aware, and are afraid to say anything. I also believe most of the problems in the black community has been brought on by the black community themselves. instead of pulling them selves up, that had lower to the bottom with obama money.
