With the current stalemate going on in Washington (and a President that may use his executive order in the situation), the financial disparity of the financial gap of three different ethnic groups, continued high unemployment rates (especially among African-Americans in this country), more people of color incarcerated than there were during slavery in the 1800’s, soaring dropout rates in the public school system across the country, crime rates at an all-time high, massive war spending with no progress in sight and many other issues and concerns.
