This Rochester NY-Monroe County Community, as Civilians can look at poverty and disparate racial treatment and division when it comes to housing, segregated housing communities and uninhabitable living conditions maintained by "slumlords". Begin to look at civilians who are fractured by retailitory evictions in/out of labdlord/tenant court and devastated by housing transience, the court system is biased and contributes to weight of racism and impartiality, evictions ruins blacks & latinos target population lives and promotes disparities for improvements for a wualutybof life for families and children, when we look at disparate treatments of our minority community what do we see, homelessness, lack of parent engagements in kids/youths education, employable skill trades, literacy and/or lack of fiscal financial literacy, jail and prison and street culture, we see narcotic movements in our most vulnerable and crime ridden urban communities. Racism exists not only subtly but openly in Housing renting or owning, employment, education of suburban schools and ivy league colleges etc. In our own backyard, politics and funding are unequivocally unequally distributed for revitalization of our neighborhoods and its a war for resources to fight to improve graduation rates in the RCSD but our jails and prisons love to receive our black and Latino men, women and children. Racism and oppression exists, many of us whom are black choosen intentionally to look the other way, when their is lack of support, lack of collective interest, lack of belief, because we don't believe the opposite race will believe in us that racism exist in the Monroe County Region-Rochester NY.
