    I think integrationwill not succeed if it starts from those with power helping those disenfranchised. There is a mentality that has ruined the minds of many black Americans. Some deal with hope: 'the meek shall inherit the earth'. Others deal with a very subtle systematic conditioning: police, governance, teachers, and religious idols don't look like me, but they resemble each other. Black America is no longer the bottom of the social totem pole here, but no one wants them to move up, so where do they go? Latinos have become the newest disenfranchised population, leaving those in power to figure out how to keep a foot on the necks of both groups.
