Honestly, I think too many of the problems in America that are caused by socioeconomic and CULTURAL (yes, I said it) backgrounds are blamed on race. Seriously, folks, all of this blaming and whining is exactly what the white folks in Washington want to see. Disunity. If you look closely you'll see that a good portion of America's poverty problems aren't because of race but because of the culture that surrounds the socioeconomic status of that race. Sorry to butt in, I know you guys aren't really talking about this anymore. Really, though, I think Bethany is making a fantastic point. Her last post is impeccable. Big ups to homegirl.
