This article states the reasons and issues why poverty is increasing and that race is a main factor of it. The poor is poorer and blacks are statistically are head of the class according t this article: "Blacks are twice likely to be unemployed, three times more likely to live in poverty and more than six times to be imprisoned compared to whites". (Page,Chicago Tribune) The article also goes in to detail and states "that poverty stem from external barriers like discrimination, racism, disappearance of low-skills jobs, the behavior and attitude of the individual and cultural conditioning". (Page, Chicago Tribune) I agree but I overall believe that poverty exist today and period because of the structural system of the society. I am simply saying look at Chicago for instance, its so segregated its sad and sickening to my stomach. We as people are so social isolated that the ones less fortunate, blacks and Latinos to be specific grow up in a environment of drug dealing, poor performance schools, welfare dependency, polluted communities because of the near-by landfills. The system in place now is set up for the less fortunate ones to fail and my proof is the barriers place before hand which i mentioned a few sentences ago, the social environment. I can go on and on. I don't think poverty issues will be solved anytime soon because the media and the bank institution runs everything, their effective tactic is fear and once us people wake up and stop the corruption of the elite we will have equal distribution and human rights for all. I am working towards a just society but i cant do it by myself. I wonder how question myself how can few people control a mass society, we as the people out number the ones in control if I'm not mistaken a million can overtake a 1000; wake up society!
