[35m Discrimination - a word used often but rarely understood by most people.   
[36m It may mean something regarding a race or religion or sex; but the truth   
[34m is it means greed and power.  Racism and discrimination is perpetuated by  
[32m people desiring greed and power.  People who wish to maintain control of   
[31m money and/or others lives and lifestyles.  Linked together with crime in   
[32m the streets, giving more power to those already in control.  There is[6C
[37m profit in crime - not necessarily for the criminal but for the police[6C
[35m agencies, attorneys, court rooms, news media and more.  Gangs, according   
[36m some studies, have been supplied weapons by those authorities in charge,   
[34m merely to take the attention away from the civil rights issues and placing 
[32m one's attention on their own back yard and protection of one's self.[7C
[31m Clearly urban renewal, education, and job corps is not working.  In South  
[32m Central Los Angeles alone the unemployment rate (true unemployment rate,   
[37m meaning those without jobs not those merely collecting unemployment) is    
[35m 55% in the Black community alone.  Yet near by a new freeway is being[6C
[36m built, the Century Freeway - but the workers consist of mostly workers from
[34m other states, not California.  Only two workers are from the nearby comm-  
[32m unity.  From the windows of the Martin Luther King hospital one can see    
[31m the vision of the 1990's being built - a new city jail.  The Black man[5C
[32m already holds 30% of the space in the jails in the city of Los Angeles.
