If you want people to be prosperous enough not to just get arrested right away, they need opportunity and motivation. In places like Mississippi, the GDP is too low to give everyone a good basic living.Rich african americans (even famous ones) also get pulled over for driving while black. I'm not sure that prosperity is more than a canard in this context.
Quote:So my solution would be to tie opportunity and motivation together-- I'm not blaming black people for being unproductive, or white people for not providing sufficient opportunity. I'm saying that real work should convert to production, and raise the GDP-- giving more room for real opportunity.Real opportunity is not present in places -with- tidy gdps, as the case of georgia demonstrates so well.
