    been ignored. Black poverty expands beyond their homes. It’s rooted deeply in their communities. It’s in the neighborhood stores‚ it’s in the community center. It’s in the schools that don’t educate‚ but merely instruct. It’s in the lack of effort and motivation to do better in life. And above all this‚ it’s in the hearts and minds of the children who neglect to find role models in their own homes.

    Stereotyping is when something is believed about a group of people that is untrue or only partly true. When someone stereotypes against a group of people they tend to not understand that group or do not want to understand them. Black people‚ to me‚ are the most stereotyped race.
