Secondly, I would recommend that everyone on the DC council read this, it'll give them some perspective. <br />I agree with the majority of the points stated, but I also feel that there is a battle in the predominantly black/poor communities where some folks feel entitled to welfare benefits. People don't want to work or be productive because the government is/will take care of them. Its become a generational thing and is somewhat en-grained. <br />How do you change people's mentality? How do you instill pride in hard work and educational attainment? These are some of the other issues that plague poor black communities that have to be addressed also.Ponderinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07923253345604134731noreply@blogger.com
