Every night, a meeting takes place in some of the darkest inner city neighborhoods. It is a meeting that prepares Black young men and young women for life behind bars. They are told that if the worst happens and they become incarcerated, they should assume that their life will continue upon their release. They are told that when the time comes for them to be released, there will be many organizations that will come to their rescue to ensure that they have a place to live, and sufficient money for food, clothing, and other necessities.
In contrast, a similar meeting of young men and young women takes place in Jewish neighborhoods. These similarly impoverished young men and young women are told that if they need money for college, there are groups that have been established to provide not only tuition, but also, funding for room and board, textbooks, and other necessities. They also are told that they would be provided every assistance during the college application and SAT preparation phases. Yet another meeting takes place in low income White neighborhoods that purports to be a meeting of white supremacists whose purpose is to ensure that the trade jobs in industries such as plumbing, construction, and carpentry are reserved for Whites only, and to ensure that Blacks are kept out of the relevant unions. One might assume that the meeting is run by the Ku Klux Klan. It is not. The Lord God Almighty El Shaddai
