Preach sister, it angers me that people think that the world is making so much progress by shutting black people out or caging them up. I feel that the Government should do more to get to the root of the issue which is employment. No one wants to sell drugs of to create drug addicts but everyone wants to eat. I am not making a case or an excuse for drug dealers but i think it comes down to the fact that it is a last resort. If most black men were afforded the same opportunities as mo0st white men then they would not sell drugs. because of the cycle of poverty that most black homes are apart of and the fact that there ARE STILL RACIST people who will not hire a black man they feel they have no other choice
