Why Is Politics So unappealing to our generation ?

Being a young African American male in the US is a blessing while others view as a obstacle. Why is it that we rarely see government leaders who are not afraid to put pressure in legislation to make a difference.  We rarely have true leaders who have a voice in politics that money doesn't due to corrupted motives. Does race play a factor in politics?.....YES! This is not simply a one sided berating of our govt but there are words that need to be said. Why is it that in order to get a more "urban" demographic people have to due stupid dances like the whip or the nae nae? Has anyone even noticed that more politics is more of a puppet for money rather than changing the nation for the better? Is it frightening that Donald Trump is winning states and has one even Virginia ? Maybe people have stopped caring because politicians seem like they don't care about the people. I watched a movie that inspired me to write about this topic called Bulworth. This movie is so profound that even Back Obama himself stated that he wanted be like Bulworth, who literally did not give a crap about what his investors or political had to say. He was only motivated to tell the truth, the word truth itself is very ugly to those who hold people in the dark with everlasting lies. The movie Bulworth literally showed that politicians literally have to watch what they say to either protect their investment or more extreme their lives.  We hear the saying that the love of money is the root of all evil, so why do have people in congress who only care about their pockets? The more our eyes are opened the more evil we see behind the scenes. Truth is ugly to those that love beautiful lies....

  1. This is an interesting start--keep developing! Can you show with specifics--how does race play a role in politics (and I agree with you--it does, but now you have to show with evidence).
    Is it that people have stopped caring? Or is it that a significant portion of the electorate has never cared? You can actually research this--what's been the percentage of voters in national elections/primaries over the last 50-90 years (don't go back farther than that, or women won't be included). See if the data can back up your assertions!
