Just as the state of White America is not framed through the poverty and despair in parts of Appalachia, Black America as a whole must not be framed through those in poverty and despair. In fact comparing the two shows that most of our problems going forward are mostly failure caused by poor socio-economic conditioned cycling as opposed to racism. With that realization Black or White or Yellow or Red or Other in America is pretty darn good.
