HIDING THE POOR, PHILIPPINE STYLE. IF YOU CAN’T BEAT POVERTY, JUST HIDE IT, SAYS THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT. “Residents walk past a wall covered with a tarpaulin poster of the ongoing 45th Annual Board of Governors meeting of the Asian Development Bank at suburban Pasay city south of Manila, Philippines, Thursday May 3, 2012. Delegates attending the international conference of the ADB in the Philippines capital may not see what they came to discuss: abject poverty. The makeshift, temporary wall on both sides of the bridge from the airport to downtown Manila, hides a sprawling slum along a garbage-strewn creek in the background.” (AP Photo/Bullit Marquez)

The Hunger Games ignorance and connections.
Yeah… the end of the world done been around for a minute now.
Check out these tweets of people who failed reading comprehension and were disappointed that the characters Rue and Thresh are black. SMH world!
Connections: and we are surprised that people like the man who killed Treyvon exist? Tweets seem innocent enough but are so telling that stereotypes are so deeply imbedded in peoples minds. Murder because a kid was wearing a hoodie and “suspicious”? Outrageous. But it all starts and snowballs with “innocent” ignorance as seen in this link.
