What are Black Issues in 2004 ?
Here are my thoughts on the issues affecting Black Americans in 2004, but not in order.
Top Tier Issues:
Education: Because without it you are disadvantage to succeed in global economy
Jobs: Because you have to be able to pay your bills
Housing: Because you have to have a place to rest at night
Home Ownership: Because most wealth in the American middle class is in their home
Felony Disenfrancement: Because of racist Criminal Justice system blacks are denied the right to vote disproportionally
Health Care: Because shorter life spans damage families and communities in many ways
Secondary Issues:
Iraq: Because Black Americans are a disproportionate part of the military due to historical poverty
Affirmative Action: It does help a few but not a majority of Black Americans
Police brutality: Lets be honest doesn't effect most Black Americans
Culture War: From Gay Marriage : Single Parent households : Abortion
