the rest of the class is made up of foreign born people, some have a poor mastery of the english language but still study and make it through. but i could not help but think of the black segment of society here where i live. they are truly the forgotten population down here. there were always those jobs available when i was young for people that were down on their luck. jobs in construction, the port area, people looking for handymen, or just regular laborers. those jobs have not been available for sometime now. everything here is spanish. the businesses, restaurants, EVERYTHING is in spanish now, not that i dont blame them, people for the most part came here to work and do the best they could for their families. but, when i was in los angeles i noticed the same there.

infact, all over the country. everyone, especially the black people here had high hopes for this president; not that he was gonig to be able to save the world, but we all as a country were looking forward to bringing our troops home, and focusing on economic growth here in this country. we all have been let down as a nation but the black community has been let down the most.
