Welcome to the Sunday Discussion segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, Sunday Discussion will feature a serious topic that needs to be featured and talked about. You can “discuss” it on your own social media networks as comments are banned here on Geek Alabama.
This isn’t Central America or parts of Asia. This is right here in the USA.
The United Nations usually travels the third world, investigating all sorts of stuff that would make you sad. But one time ten years ago, someone tipped the UN off and was like – go check out rural Alabama if you want to see basic human rights violations. So they did. They came here and said these are usually things we see in the world’s least developed countries.
The UN said: Our report demonstrates that growing inequality and widespread poverty in Alabama affects almost 1 child out of every 5. This has deeply negative implications for the enjoyment of civil and political rights.”
The report added – we’ve never seen anything like this in the developed world.
So what can we do? Or do these people just like it this way?
