Race and class are extremely reliable indicators as to where one might find the good stuff, like parks and trees, and where one might find the bad stuff, like power plants and waste facilities.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In inner-city, low-income communities of color, there's such a high correlation in terms of educational quality and success.
A race is a work of art that people can look at and be affected in as many ways they're capable of understanding.
In fact, the class divide in the black community is now seen by some as a permanent aspect of our existence.
Every single thing in my life is built around race.
Communities and neighborhoods are affected. Idling trains, traffic backups, grade crossing accidents and other safety issues all affect the quality of life in our neighborhoods.
All I know for sure is that issues like race, like class, are always best approached with compassion and open-mindedness.
I got into the race because I'm concerned for my children, and for the opportunities they don't have. Really, it's for the same concerns that the people of the 16th district have. They're concerned about jobs.
Classes struggle, some classes triumph, others are eliminated. Such is history; such is the history of civilization for thousands of years.
The Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute accepts people of any race. We don't discriminate against anyone. We teach people to reach their highest potential. I set examples by the way I lead my life.
We must not discriminate between things. Where things are concerned there are no class distinctions. We must pick out what is good for us where we can find it.
