In four years we are going to find a whole people group will understand the difference between being poor and being black - they are not the same.  Those that are poor will understand that they are not poor only because they are Aftrican American but because they are oppressed.  It will be obvious that there are rich African Americans and poor African Americans.  There are poor whites, and rich whites.  Still waiting for us as a nation:  a new debate on the poor.
