The situation of black people in america



Martin Luther King  the key figure in the struggle for emancipation (Befreiung) of the blacks  about 15% are black = 30 million people

a divided black US society:
black middle class (Bourgeoisie)  they are well-off  they are better paid and housed  when you climb up the social ladder you move into a better neighbourhood (e.g. the country)
lots of 'underdogs' (poor people) remained in the inner cities forming a big underclass there  the hearts of the US cities became slums  rising crime-rates, drug-dealing

underclass = 3 million people
people between 18-25 are more likely to be murdered than to die in a car accident
Washington D.C.: the crime-rate is steadily increasing
in New York: crime-rate dropped by 65% in the last 5-10 years

mayor (Bürgermeister) of N.Y.: Giuliani
police had unlimited rights  became very brutal

45% of the inmates (Insassen) of prisons in the USA are black
more than 50% of black families are without fathers
the number of teenage pregnancies (Schwangerschaft) is more than double of white girls  it's a vicious circle (Teufelskreis)  in cities slums developed  the cities decayed  lots of criminals, drug-dealer
economic reasons: in 70ies many people lost their jobs especially in the inner cities - fringe of society - the standard on US schools fell dramatically
lawlessness in the streets became the order of the slums - the value system had changed - not working had become acceptable  in the 80ies  economy recovered  people didn't want to work any more - general chance of attitudes - new jobs would be to have created - school system should be to have reformed
lots of drug-dealer roam (herumsandeln) in the cities
