Don't Our Impoverished Inner Cities Deserve More?

I spent some time this past week visiting the Bishop Arts district in South Dallas. This is an predominately hispanic, low income area that has come together as a community to provide quality services and culture to the area being served. I trully enjoyed the experience, even the fact that there was a slight element of socioeconomic indifference and separation on one side of the district. After leaving, I drove into a predominately African American, low income area and as usual, I took note of the typical establishments which include more liquor stores that you can count, bright shiny new check cashing stores, and multiple beauty supply stores. I thought, I wonder what would change if more of us became conscious of the marketing that is targeting us as individuals. That's something to think about.
