THOUGHTS ON POWERLESS POOR PEOPLE

MY THOUGHTS ON PEOPLE WITHOUT POWER Below I share some dark thoughts about poor people who totally depend on others for their health and wellbeing. These powerless people are usually herded into communities without adequate infrastructure – living spaces, roads, sidewalks, street-signs, communications transportation water or sanitation systems; poor people are usually without jobs that pay a livable wage, without schools that prepare their children for life, without adequate police protection. Powerless people are preyed upon by individuals in and outside their communities. I’m reading a book titled Medical Apartheid by Harriet A. Washington – she exposes the medical experimentation done on black people during and after slavery: unethical experiments performed without the consent of powerless victims. Most of the surgical explorations were performed without pain inhibitors – death rate among these victims was unimaginably high. There is no power in numbers when the numbers are all poor. Powerless people are in constant pain: poor means powerless means pain. I have found that where you have a community of powerless poor people you will also find an abundance of alcohols drugs and churches – all offering relief to the endless pain being endured there. Predators too are present in poor communities and delude themselves into thinking they are in control of their own lives and that of the victims they stalk; they believe themselves to be providing victims with some measure of pain relief; instead they, like the medical experimenters are adding to the existing pain while providing no lasting pain relief. The only people in poor communities who enjoy some relief from pain are the predators – but they too are victims: they just don’t know it. http://www.adolphusward.net http://www.amazon.com/Adolphus-A.-Ward/e/B00OSDSSRC
