Looks like a family who's "Social Justice" was being violated but they was not aware of it.
In the world that we have today there is an ideal standard of living that no one in this nation should be allowed to fall below.

The job of the "social justice activist" is to use this family pictured as their poster child, through which "progressive public policy" is to be advanced so that they might be afforded better accouterments.

The key flaw in this line of thinking, however, is that it is not transferable to any other collection of "diasporatic Blacks" around the world.

In their case they do not have a larger government to petition for "social justice RIGHTS". Any standard of living that they live up to must be ORGANICALLY created based on their production and its market value.

Truthfully, large swaths of people in present day America would be living in this same condition BUT FOR the "debt funny money" that is generated by this government and the private banking institution known as the Federal Reserve.

As long as this fiat money scheme retains its confidence - few two parent lead families with 5 children will be forced to sleep in one room with one bed. If and when the system collapses, however, the people pictured will have an easier time consciously dealing with the changed conditions than the others who will be seen jumping out of windows as they are unable to deal with their new circumstances.; Apr 14, 2012, 8:15:00 AM

"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"
