Society as a whole is to blame for the economic and racial disparities that exist. We, as a black community have not done enough to educate our children, sometimes even ourselves to the harsh world that exists only 40 years after segregation. While I am aware of the "governmental assistance" our communities have had with the placement of liquor stores predominantly in the black inner city. It saddens me to think that we continue to blame the 'white man' for our struggle. We must learn to accept a certain level of responsibility and to not give society what it wants. Is it a coincidence that we continue to patronize their liquor stores? That is money being spent in the cause to destroy our heritage. That is money that should be used to improve our educational system. Accept individual responsibility-change your life and the community around you.
