African Americans are particulary the first and foremost the people of the land as farmers.Historically,most communities start out as farm communities because of this, people lived in close contact with the land.The white man does not understand our ways one of the portion of the land is the same to him as the next.He is a stranger who comes in the night to take from the land whatever he needs.Black people dont have the same access to healthy resouces as the whites because, people of color live in environment that are toxic that cause severe health problems.
The government in general dont care for people of color especially blacks,whether educational,health,or environmental issues.As the writter stated in the article about corner stores is mostly found in black and hispanic communities.I will be in agreeyance with it because,i personally have seen that trend of corner stores being in largely african americans communities.It may be convienient for the people who live in the neighborhood but bad for our health.A short distance walk to a coner store as compared to walk half a mile to a supermarket.
Black neighborhood mainly consist of tall buildings,little or no trees.justt as terry stated in the article,parks in white areas are far larger than in colored areas.
