The Crumbling Community

For me, the crumbling community model was at the height of my concern when making this choice. I feared for the environment my future children would have because of all the changes America had been enduring. It was becoming a more and more wicked place to live if you didnt share modern views. With the legalization of gay marriage and the utter manipulation of the American media to perpetuate one sided views.. I would often feel hopeless, knowing that many of my peers were being influenced by such things.Secondarily I worried about the specific threat to people of color. There is absolutely no secret of the unjust biased treatment that some people of color endure in the legal system in the U.S. I worried about my children potentially being caught in the viscious cycle. I can certainly attest to the level of education one receives, their behaviors, status etc not being able to offset deep seeded stereotypes. So if if you raise your black child in the most ideal of circumstances... they still may become a victim because of the color of their skin, and then those responsible will slip through the system.
