Take a good look at all the inner-city areas in America, Chicago, LA, DC, the list goes on. These places have become a breeding ground for gang violence, drug distribution, rape, etc. WHY? Why is it that one of the only ways to make money in the ghettos of America is to sell drugs. Why is it that the only way to be safe in the ghettos of America is to join gangs? Yes, we live in a capitalist society, there will always be rich and poor neighborhoods, but the poor don't need to be this poor, there doesn't have to be such a large racial division in the socioeconomic classes, the kids don't have to join gangs and sell drugs to survive. It doesn't need to be like this.

What are your thoughts?
