http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100921/ap_on_re_us/un_un_world_summit I do believe it's just a little bit 'weird,' that a celebrity (or anyone for that matter) can purchase a 20 million dollar home, with a fucking straight face and call themselves human, when 200 people could be living in $100,000 functional homes for the same amount of money.
That top 1 percent of this country's population or whatever is shitty as hell. Owning half the shit in the country. It's fuckin' ridiculous. I wonder why people need such big houses, but when you have the money, I guess people need something to do with it.
Its the I made it so fuck everyone else mentality. Besides if you gave people homes they wouldn't respect it. Look at the projects its fucking disgusting.
Despite the fact that I came on this website to interact more with WW, I appreciate intelligent brothers like all of you, Ymra and almost all of the other Brothers on here (pseudophilosopher has not removed his account yet). I have thought long and hard about the poverty in this world and frankly I have trouble imagining solutions to these problems. I have not seen genuine answers from others despite the obvious fact that all of them are far more qualified and knowledgeable than I am on the subject. But if you really want to know why there is so much poverty in the black community. I would invite you to read an actual government report that was originally classified in March 1965.

lol u might be on to something....subsidized housing isnt exactly a bright spot, but I do know there are good people with the bad in them, that just arent in any plausible position to jump a few social classes. I for one grew up in the projects, so I speak from experience. I just made sure I soaked up as much as I could in school, to climb the ladder. It doesnt change the fact that the money distribution in this country, is fucked up. Not everyone who's poor is there by desire.
sometimes we take a break from the pussy chase to give thought to current events, history, academics, stuff like that. I think it's positive for the brothas, as well as the shorties that get involved. What better way to promote education, than by doing it in an environment accessible by the masses?
I agree but you have to keep incentives and upward mobility or most people wouldn't do shit or take care of shit. I know that everyone doesn't treat the projects like shit but too many people do. Wealth distrubtion remains fucked up because too many people don't realize that consumers have all the power not the coporations. We need to stop buying stuff from companies that shit on us.
well it is...look at these people that have a ton of money, bitch about tax increases, only to turn around and make even MORE money okay when does that shit become ridiculous? when you have a lot full of Maybachs and a 20 mil glass house, or when you buy Bogota?
