Too many people still see a color divide when they are actually looking at an economic divide because the current economic divide is the result of an earlier color divide.

But it’s easier to see that black begets black than it is to see that poor begets poor, plus the color divide is easier because you can’t help someone be a different color so it frees society from any responsibility.

Regardless of how or why the African American community has a problem with government dependence, the question is how to discourage them from further increasing it. Obama making a statement about it is a start, but we’ll see if he takes any action on it.
