Do u believe that Dr Kings dream is now a nightmare or a reality ? 👊

I'm speaking of Dr Martin Luther King. He was the civil rights leader who fought for your freedom. What do you think. In this Trump era of racial prejudice...bigotry...and hate. Some say we as a society have taken a step back. In race relations. How do you feel about Dr Kings dream today.

There's still a lot that needs to happen in order for that 'dream' to become a reality.
America may have 'moved on' from 'outward segregation', but while there are still a too large percentage of black people struggling for jobs; decent housing; decent healthcare; decent education; college opportunities; fear from certain law enforcement departments.....

@Picklebobble2 I see.all races of people living paycheck to paycheck. The work I do has raised my awareness about this.

@Zonuss While they're building ever bigger prisons rather than housing estates..... You've got a problem !

@Picklebobble2 They build them for everybody. Female homicide has gone up 25% over the past decade alone.

@Zonuss Look at the stats for the southern states re: prison population and the 'diversity' of population.
Shameful reading.

@Picklebobble2 The economic conditions is better than up North. Out of the top 10 fastest growing cities are in the South. Just 500,000 people moved to my state since 2008. The stats are flawed. Take racism out of the system the numbers are pretty even across the board. I highly doubt you know what's going on behind closed doors in your own demographic. But I understand you enjoy being in your little box you hate monger. That.is what's shameful

@Zonuss Read the statistics.

@Picklebobble2 Fake stats. I see people of all races doing crimes here every day and don't even get caught. Much of what goes on is off record
If you were an intelligent person you would know this

@Zonuss ok that's twice you've insulted me with no cause so i think this ends here.
like i said, read the statistics and when you see more social housing and job creation than prison place provision, you might have a point.

@Picklebobble2 Like I said those are fake stats. What goes on off record isn't being recorded.
