This article takes a different point of view on the negativity that has been cast upon African Americans. Many people want to blame the government and society for their problems however; in this article the blame is on the community. It states how the government is the correlation of the pimp and African Americans is the correlation of the ho. Therefore; we have put ourselves in a postion where we depend on the government for financial assistance, food, and etc. Instead of makiing our lives better after the civil rights movement we took an easier way out by becoming the government's hoes. Instead of owning up to our own faults the article states that we blame it on racism. However; racism is not the case everytime the black community is pointed out for something like this. This article allowed me to see the viewpoint from the otherside. However; I use to think about it all the time. My mother used to call me a Republican because I was able to see their viewpoints on these matters. I believe that we can not just continue to blame the government for things that we have taken a huge part into as well. It is time that we own up to our laziness and greed and move forward by uplifting our black community.
