Just recently, President Obama tried to push another one of his misguided economic initiatives known as the 'Promise Zone (http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/comm_planning/economicdevelopment/programs/pz).' Not to be confused with the term 'Promise Land' considering 'The One' doesn't seem to be playing the part of saviour very well. I haven't taken the time to look up to many details with this plan, but from what I've gathered it's to give American citizens from all walks of life an opportunity succeed and escape from poverty, regardless of where they are from. What a fitting new Government programme on the 50th anniversary of the War on Poverty, the Government initiative that single handedly destroyed poverty in the United States.

You will notice, ironically, a record amount of Americans life in poverty under the current sitting President. What is also very ironic is that there are less and less African Americans as a part of the labour force under the first African American President. Black Labour Force Participation Rate has plunged to the lowest levels they've ever been since June 1982, which currently sits at 60.6% (Blue).

Granted, White Labour Force Participation (Green) isn't fairing much better. This is the lowest participation for whites has been since 1977, but considering that blacks are mostly the ones who are the most disenfranchised when it comes to poverty and it's effects regarding education, income, unemployment and crime, one would think this was something that was on the President's agenda since the gecko. It almost negates the purpose of this whole 'Promise Zone' mantra entirely.

This hits closer to home for these individuals. It's funny, because one would think these people don't exist.
