I Guess I Would Say First Of

What This Country Needs Is More Unemployed Politicians.

I Would Suggest Is That In The Latter 1990s It Is Extremely Important To Look At The Predicament Of Black People Within The Context Of The Globalization Of Capital.

Media Mystifications Should Not Obfuscate A Simple, Perceivable Fact; Black Teenage Girls Do Not Create Poverty By Having Babies. Quite The Contrary, They Have Babies At Such A Young Age Precisely Because They Are Poor--because They Do Not Have The Opportunity To Acquire An Education, Because Meaningful, Well-paying Jobs And Creative Forms Of Recreation Are Not Accessible To Them ... Because Safe, Effective Forms Of Contraception Are Not Available To Them.

That's True But I Think The Contemporary Problem That We Are Facing Increasing Numbers Of Black People And Other People Of Color Being Thrown Into A Status That Involves Work In Alternative Economies And Increasing Numbers Of People Who Are Incarcerated.

I Think It Is Important To Acknowledge The Extent To Which The Black Middle Class Tends To Rely On A Kind Of Imagined Struggle That Gets Projected Into Commodities Like Kente Cloth For Example On The One Hand And Images Like The Million Man March.
