Centuries of slavery and discrimination. We are improving through every decade but recessions such as the Great Recession that we just experienced adversely affect the poor disproportionately. In addition, as a result, some middle class people fall into poverty due to job losses and loss of savings.

No one sensible expects the ill effects of past discrimination to disappear quickly but the improvements in the African American community have been fairly steady.

As Vernon Jordan pointed out, however, at the National Urban League Conference last July, there is a gap growing within the African American community between the middle class and the poor. It must be addressed. Education has to be the focus. The jobs of most Americans are being threatened by globalization. The emphasis has to be on training for the jobs of the future, not just for African Americans, but for all Americans.

Edit: I am African American and it never ceases to amaze me how blatantly racist some of the conservatives are regarding questions and answers on YA about African Americans. What does this accomplish?

When you are born into a poor neighborhood (regardless of the races of people living there), there isn’t much of a tax base to support good schools. So schools end up hurting for basics like teachers (classrooms too crowded) and even text books are in short supply. The solution to that would be to average all taxes paid in the state to be doled out evenly to all the schools. That’s just one big factor. That is not “equal opportunity for all.”

Liberal politicians want to keep it that way so they gain more power and get their votes. It obvious every city ran by liberals is ran into the ground with most of them on welfare and half of them drop out of school the schools are so bad! They don’t teach family values and bash Christian religion! Churches like Rev Wright only teaches people to be Vengeful, angry and full of hate! Thats not how to grow!!! That doesn’t help people become successful in life! It keeps them down, depressed and angry only to help marxists grow a army of haters!

Little Family structure. My girlfriend grew up in a very poor neighborhood, but her grandparents raised her and expected a great deal from her. Today, she is a successful business owner and her IQ is off the charts.
