I think you've failed (or just intentionally ignored) the rhetoric that's often spewed around here and on social media.

There is--beyond a shadow of a doubt--a very prominent talking point that poor minorities, specifically African-Americans, are all but predisposed to be impoverished and taking advantage of government welfare programs. To even act as though it isn't implied, inferred, and sometimes blatantly stated through all these mediums we use every day, is merely passive ignorance.

I'm hardly ten steps behind, dude. Pretty sure I interact with a more diverse socioeconomic sample size than you do on a daily basis. I do it all over the country, and I deal with all sorts of backgrounds. When you do that, you begin to notice patterns in people.

You've failed everything. Conservatives know that many white people are dirt poor. Liberals only portray minorities as poor. Thus the Voter ID issue. You never hear about all those poor white folk that can't vote.... Liberals do this. Bernie Sanders, liberal galore, recently spewed how white people aren't poor and don't know poor. He, Septic the ultra lib, was attempting to be sarcastic in pointing out that he's to believe only minorities are poor.... A liberal thing. He was making fun of himself. If that was his intent, then great, it got past me. But let's face it, he wasn't trying to make fun of himself. He was led astray by his own party beliefs. Thus, the DF liberal I called him.

Thanks for playing.

Oh, and if you want to speak of poor people or others on the socioeconomic spectrum, go ahead and speak of real poor people. You know, from outside the US. REAL poor people you stupid F.

Yeah. There are no real poor people in the USA. No schizos totally marginalized to the outer edge of our society or anything.

I just can't take anyone seriously who uses the term "stupid F."

Coming from the likes of you, though... so salty and ***** all the time... I'm hardly shook.

*****.

I'm guessing he's walked the streets of a third would country.

There is poor with respect to the U.S. Standards, and there is truly destitute. There's a huge difference.

So we should be okay with "american" poverty?

I came from a poor family, and didn't find success until I sold my soul, broke the law, and cheated a few ****ty people to get my seed.

That seed isn't so easily attainable for most. I got lucky.

I have no problem with sharing my wealth. I now fall into Bernie's proposed bracket of increased taxation. I don't agree with a lot of his policies, especially in long term principle. However, I still have no problem spreading my success to those who need it. A lot of hc.gov plans don't cover psychiatric help, psychotherapy, or other forms of mental care. I think it absolutely should.

Are we going to discuss poverty and survival or fairness in getting your seed?

I don't think we should compare poverty here to poverty in Thailand.

We shouldn't have people that poor. This is America, dammit.

We certainly shouldn't strive to have such.

However, poverty is relative. Whether within your community, within your friends, the US, or around the world. One always has the choice to look up or to look down. One perspective doesn't cancel out the other. Only looking through one lens, either way, creates an artificial bubble of reality.

Truth. However, we're in a better position as citizens of this country to take care of our poverty.
