Black Market
The Black Market isa life line for Africans that find themselves stuck in a political world that have set rules which are to help them be come a citizen and at the same time they are not allowed to work. If caught they are deported back in to a gun culture where many have died , or lost limbs for being the opposition tribe. Political asylum often takes time , and the conditions people live in are inhumane especially when they is no fund or organization for a race of people to find work to survive on. Here One man has engaged in the black market to sell fake products in order to bring needed money in to have food and a shared roof over his head. They silent idea by most governments towards black people is to force them to suffer long enough until they do something illegal or leave the country before they are allowed the rights to be there legally. If caught all his good will be confiscated . The goods are not the real name brand, but rather a fake copy, made in China. What is discover, is that people don't care for the real products because they are too expensive. A fake design or the real is affordable and allows one to be in fashion at a lower price. The fashion industry is really for the privilege that can pay the price. What if the people in every country refused to buy. would that send the extravagant unreal look alike people that already don't fit in society of the people to a halt. And would they rethink and allow all to afford design fashion. One thing is obvious. Once you enter the elite social word of extreme wealth you never give back to help the people that badly need help. Marie Antoinette's last rememberable quote still echoes throughout the centuries . "Let them eat cake". A time where the French people had no wheat to make bread, and countless many within the population of the needy died. Is history quietly repeating itself as political government point fingers and blame each other.

Real strong picture and explanation...thanks...You know Glen ...when I just think about how many times the color ''black '' is used in many expressions...or stories ...I remember ...'ten little negroes''' etc...
Most of the time is for negative used...
I've been working 2 years in Haïti !
Too much people are not conscious how lucky they are to be born un a ''rich country '' ...
There are so many things that your picture remind me...
have a good day...and keep on going .. to do so good work..
