(5 posts)It is very difficult to raise a generation out of poverty. Blacks, starting out as slaves in this country, has certainly set them back more than most. In today's society there is a fine line between the middle class and poverty.
What I was trying to say was that the rich elite, who control the press - control the political football. They do all they can to keep the masses from understanding that this country is no longer in control by the politicians but those leaders of corporations that make their money off oil, weapons, the market, etc. Even MSNBC, a liberal minded station, will rarely touch upon the subject that this world species) is going to hell so to the policy of short term profit. This mindset destroys everything it touches - especially truth.
