But don't worry that really isn't a concept I expect you get that.

First off you don't know jack shit about my family so please don't presume to believe you do simply because they are white. There is some truth to the truth the idea that my families experience is different than a black families would be but that really is an irrelevant statement. Virtually ever example he gave my family has parallel experiences from dishonest banks stealing land to people incarcerated for ellipse to local police harassing them and even to signs telling them they are not welcome. My grandmother grew up as poor and as uneducated as any black child and I resent the suggestion that her suffering and triumphs are any less simply because she was white. I don't argue that getting out of poverty is just as easy if you are black but it is just as possible and the steps are basically the same. If being white is such a ticket out of poverty why are have the poor in this country white?

I didn't get out of poverty because family get better interest rates I got out poverty because after my father left my mother married a man who didn't own much but who believed in hard work and responsibility and he worked hard to instill those in me. The black men and women I know who managed to escape poverty have stories that are not that dissimilar. I don't have my current job because I white but because even though I wasn't given a chance to go to college right out of school I joined the Marines learned a trade and put myself through college. Please don't argue that I got better jobs because I was because every company I have worked for actively recruited minorities and I almost didn't get a promotion because they wanted a woman our a minority but they could find one who was qualified.

I didn't take the time read your article because it reads like silly partisan dribble but if there are republicans who want to treat rural poor differently than urban poor then I oppose that effort and suspect it to be returned in racism, much like the idea that black poor are more deserving of assistance is wrong headed and rooted in racism.

The government has role to played a role in fighting poverty. My families' first real step out of truly desperate poverty was when my grandfather got a job at the WPA. In the end though black white or green the only way to escape poverty and pass that on to your children is to learn self reliance and to not only take responsibility for your own life but those who are dependent on you. Propagating a victim mentality and the idea that world owes you anything but air to breath is not helping the matter. He mentioned that blacks have less wealth for equal pay, he need stop focus not on who to blame but how to change the mindset of the black community that leads to that.

Maybe thinking a family should raise a child and a man should put his children before himself is just part of my white world view but if so it that explains a lot more of the current state of affairs than 1950s interest rates.
