Since coming to power President Obama has not delivered on many of his campaign promises and vast ethnic communities still suffer from high unemployment, poor education and healthcare, says hip-hop trio “Rebel Diaz”.

One of the group members, RodStarz, believes the reason is deeply entrenched in the system:

“Capitalism as we know it failed and it will continue to fail because these people are so greedy,” he told RT.

But many turn a blind eye on what is going on around because it is easier for them:

“People in the United States are comfortable. If you’ve got your PlayStation and a flat screen TV – you are alright. People need to wake up and understand that their comfort is what’s keeping us controlled,” RodStarz added.
