The dream of DR. King (none / 0) (#11)

  have made progress, but the dream will be fully entact when the stereotypes associated with Blacks are eliminated. It will be realized when society comes to the realization that poverty creates crime, poverty creates low self-esteem, that poverty correlates with high school dropout among black youths, that poverty creates stress, that poverty and hopelessness will make one believe that they are not apart of the main stream society. If one believes that they are not apart of the main stream, one can easily be influence to rebel against the laws of the main stream. Before one judge another based on their ethnicity again, one should first examine the studies that have been conducted to show how poverty correlates with the negative effects of society. We as a society must finally realize that if we combat poverty we will eliminate many of the effects associated with it. we should never blame the individual, rather blame poverty.
