An Affected Community

I decided to write this blog about the lower class black community that is greatly affected by racism, especially in the workforce. The lower class black communities have struggled greatly for years. Racism has opressed these communities for a long time. These communities have had so many problems with drugs, violence and diseases such as AIDS. All of these problems have harmed the black communities and due to racism, they are ignored and shoved aside while the white upper classed communities thrive with help from society and the government. Communities like these get shuned because people feel that they are unsaveable. On top of that people within these communities feel trapped as if they have no other options in life. Obviously the lower black communities are suffering the most from racism and the fact that it is harder for them to jobs as easlily as the few white people within these communities, does not make it easier. In fact it makes it much harder for these young black people to maintain hope and strive for a better life.

I have to aggree with you when it comes to race in the workforce. There have been several studies that show how your race can determine if you get a job or not. You can have the same applicant with the same skills and degrees and 9 times out of ten the white male will get the job over a black male when both have the same Qualifications. Sadly this is the world we live in and I don’t see it ever changing.
