Going after the political lackeys would be nice, but that is not the topic here.

Yes, "negroes" are cogs in the machine just like him, you, me, and the rest of us. Society itself has many cogs. Education system, health care, legal system, entitlements, etc.

Being a cog in the machine does not mean some people can rob, rape, kill, assault.

As for being middle class, the vast majority of Americans are not middle-class but working class.

Regardless of "class" it is the responsibility of the parents to have kids when they can afford to, and educate them and teach them right from wrong. Humanity.

Black (mostly single) parents have failed to do this more than other ethnic groups.
How can they teach the kids right from wrong ever since the demagogues rule America?



The average worker works harder and longer hours every year, but his or her wage grows slower, if at all, than the costs of living. Living expenses are growing so rapidly because of the excessive greed for profits. The taxes they pay are used by the government not to improve their situation, but to subsidize the rich. They hear about personal responsibility in a free market economy, but can behold that the rules of capitalism only apply to them, and it's not the market who decides who makes a profit, but the elite themselves and their government. Profits are privatized and transfered abroad to avoid taxes, losses socialized. The myths of opportunity are just that, myths. The poor remain poor. That is were crime offers a shortcut to wealth.
