Agreed, as an African American, looking at this social phenomenon is quite an empirical observation to behold over a long frame of time. Many African Americans had the trash jobs, bus jobs, and other menial shit I even remember doing cause that was all that was offered to us even with a college degree; still the case even today, but now it is even tougher for some of us to compete for the shitty jobs cause now we are competing not against fellow North Americans, but our good neighboors down south (though many are confirmed not legal around here for sure) cause it is more cost effective and they don't bitch and start shit like some of my ghetto counterparts that always make a scene.
The whole phenomenon is complex in its roots, yet simple....Many of my peoples fucked up from lack of colaborative progress or getting caught up in the drug culture and so corporate America said "Fuck it...lets get even more cheaper labor". Now places like Norristown, PA which was prodominately Italian and African American now appears to be in the last 5 years a Mexican Phoenix. Problem I see is so complex and has to be broken down in such a manner that a flow chart may be in order to show causes and solutions. There are many....but I think really, this may require global cooperation to solve this social-economic crisis within. As a teacher, I see no attempts of social integration or learning english. I do see gangs which never was around since the early 70's.
