looking for change
When will the government, the people who are responsible for our society and well being remember that there are no avenues for many Black and lower class Americans. There is no hope to where I believe people who have experienced poverty their whole life and also have a history of no success or signs of change in their lives. I myself have been a victim of this trap of signs of no success but a possible of potential in my own life as well. My setbacks are even more difficult to deal with other than the fact that I am one who has grown up in a poor environment and have experienced more than enough of pain. Yes, I know that I can change things, and believe me I will, but the majority of people in my situation can't see things the same way because they are caught up in a cycle that brings them back to a life of poverty mentally and physically because of their history. This in my opinion can only be fixed by the government and the solution should begin with the government. The same way if you take a mouse and put him in to an experiment in a cage, and it is in the cage majority of its time it is not going to do any thing that is out of its reach, it cant do or even be apart of any thing that is not apart of its environment. With this said, resources are a vital part to living a productive life, why hasn't this been done for the minority in this country especially in a time when our leaders are running for office.

This is Africa
|
Suffering has called us to a calling beyond our means. Whether we are silent or hold peace, our situation only evolves into a worse circumstance that we must abide by. Is hope a fantasy, nightmare, or reality? This can only be answered by the dream or legacy we hold in our hearts. Our hearts are what we make decisions by not our actions. Anything our heart beats for is the cause of what we may dream, rationalize, or have given up on. We can begin to look at the many different shades or veils that cover and disquise the true barrings of a society. Poverty, Immorality, Wickedness, and even in these areas of America we call the slums or the have nots, there is a spirit that remains fostered not by evil, but the evils of exploitation. Many of these businesses claim to be for opportunity of the working class Americans. But there remains in these communities a game of real life monopoly in which we the working class Americans are the participants. Why and How? Simple, every dollar we make in our blue collar jobs goes back into the ones keeping us oppressed. To think of 10 to 20 fast food chains in one area, and then low quality department and grocery stores, and even your neighborhood drug store that supports the movement of social degradation posed upon the youth to where by the time they are 14 or 15 they have easy access to a liquor mart. Why this should matter is because it is only happening because most people are never prepared for this because we are born into it. We know nothing but government handouts and then injected by the poise of a modern class structure that has worked for centuries now. This is the reason for the season in a sense. We're sick, but can't afford to see a doctor. We're poor, so we take the matter in our own hands unfortunately by illegal gain. We're dead mentally because we were never given a mind of our own or no one payed mind to even care so they lock us up. Is this a declining or growing cycle or is it just part of life. Take time to notice the poor man whose lost his mind as you pass to go to work and lacky that you label and judge as you pass by the city or even zones that you wouldn't cross. Whether we like it or not they have not, not cause their instability but because of the world's lack of concern and to cast them out into the pitts and think that just because of the success whomever may acquire that these people are the pillars of our society. Not only do we do the work that certain Americans are just to good to do, we also remind people of high stature that they are truly blessed and if so how would God being Jesus, if he were to come today be embraced. If high he would of probably never came down to die for us all, not individually, but equally.

truth challenged
We are judged by what we did, not what we can do in this world by man. Probably, the main reason hypocricy is never challenged, but mandated. Many people are never sure of who to trust. Identity can cause situations to fall back on a distorted view of the truth. We believe the perfect person is an ideal human being, someone we can trust. The truth is if your looking for the perfect, ideal, sane, human being, your looking for Jesus. The simple fact is that humans are people who strive for perfection. If the curtain was removed from each person individually, I think it is safe to say that no one is perfect in the eyes of God, but equal. Equally countered by sin and made potentially dangerous for the good or bad. So if we strive for excellence, the road before us becomes a light. If we strive for vain or immoral likeness in a world that is moving toward self, the road ahead is uncertain and ultimately fatal. We are spirits confined to human flesh that desires anything that the eye reaps. The spirit is already one with God, yet we still wrestle with faith and the truth. God's ultimate punishment made us flesh and in that we became slaves to the world or sin, because we knew the truth but was not guided by it. Our spirit being will live on forever, either in heaven or hell. Satan's punishment will confine him in my opinion to simarlarly human flesh where he will no longer be a free spirit, but caught up and condemned almost the way we are presently for an eternity in hell. Trust comes with consequences and carries a lifetime of condemnation if misguided. If trust is in God we have decernment to find it in man and we will know by God's divine wisdom.

which way is it
|
The justice system serves the interest of a specific class of citizens. We live in a government that incriminates mostly of those who are in an environment set to give access to every negative source of life it could possibly give. Why is the system this way, I am confused to whether it promotes well being or by setting traps instead of eliminating the problem. There are people who have been arrested for small crimes at reasonably early ages and from that point on are given no alternative. A criminal record in most cases bars an accussed or convicted felon with crimes most of the time that should have been misdemeanor crimes, from getting a job, public transportation, drivers license expulsion, getting into something as simple as an apartment, and from educational institutions. Many of these people want to change and many have changed and are living a moderate life. But in a system that keeps you from improving the only option is to live illegally or be satisfied being what they label these people "low life felons." This in an election seasons seems to bring heat, no one wants to touch up on the subject. Many believe it is being racial, but why is it racial? Is it racial or racist to have many citizens particularly black in this country who from having an inferior education at the schools were provided in our communities that lead to job instability, to families breaking apart and having to depend on government handouts to survive. I don't think at all and if this is not attended to, we could see the falling of a class of citizens due to impoverization and a government that would rather pay to put people in jail and release them with no options and wonder why theirs a cycle to repeat offenders. Start by looking into your books or laws of legislation and stop with the unfair games of politicism or in the end this country will have debts it owes to the weaker part of society with the presence of no hope that will reign possibly even after election to election to election and the voices of the ones who need change the most are unheard.
