Here--40 years after the great civil rights victories and 50 years after Rosa Parks's great refusal--was a poverty that oppression could no longer entirely explain.

Rosa Park's generation would have taken responsibility for themselves, their family and their neighbors.

"Rosa Park's generation would have taken responsibility for themselves, their family and their neighbors."

Couldn't have said it better myself.
I am a white male. If I need something or I want something for me or my family, I have to get it myself. The gummit never crosses my mind. If my family needs help, I do it. I find a way to do it myself. It is called responsibility. It is called self worth and dignity.
The generation of Rosa Parks fought and worked hard and even died for what they believed in to better themselves. The generation of today lives off the government and passes down the welfare checks for the next generation to mooch. No pride, no dignity, just a free ride.
