More than anything I believe all race issues are class issue.

Money = education.

Education = oppourtunity

I live in Kansas City and our public school system lost it's state recogonized accreditation. Which means our public schools are so poor and run down that the state has us on constant probabtion and colleges turn their noses at the names of our schools.

There are poor white kids too, white kids who will never leave the trailor park, who will never break the cycle of poverty.

The music they listen to is just fuel under their personal flames and it's not going to run them down. Look at all the rich white kids who listen to hip Hop... it's not holding them back.

They'll go to their private schools, and drive thier fancy cars, and then go to college and get drunk and move on.
