Yea, it's fucked up, you're right. Why don't you stand up for what's right instead of crying poor me, poor black guy?? You deserve so much more but are willing to let your family settle for so much less. Do you realize what you continue to endorse?? Do you understand you will never be as good as "them" if you don't understand what you are cheating yourself out of?? Get real, you are the REASON they are afraid to take the leap, you allow them to keep you under their thumb. You're just too afraid to admit it.
The role of government: Government policies determine the environment in which people live.
Currently, Republicans are trying to destroy labor unions, safety regulations, Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid, minimum wage, women's rights, affordable health care, middle class in general, etc.
Sooo, what exactly are Republicans doing to help those poor government-dependent people escape their self-defeating environments? Actually, Republican policies are sending more people to the projects and the poor house.
