Completely Unacceptable

Reading this op-ed by Bob Herbert, I knew I had to go ahead and create a new post.

Here's just part of Herbert's "Far from Over":

For black children, you don’t want to know. But I’ll tell you anyway. The poverty rate for black kids was 34.5 percent in 2007. If the national unemployment rate rises, as expected, to the vicinity of 10 percent next year, the poverty rate for black children would rise to 50 percent or higher, analysts at the institute believe.

I'm kinda tired now so just leave your thoughts and I'll respond later.
