Why are there 21,922,000 white Americans living in poverty? Is it because failed liberal policies? Is it due to a sense of victimization? Is it because white organizations have convinced these people that they can't succeed? Is it a matter of their rural dialect which keeps them from being taken seriously? Just what seems to be the problem?
And, why is it that in urban American in Real Americaâ„¢ poverty rates are higher?
The best way to find a reason is to stand outside and evaluate 22 M Americans and then stratify their reasons but do so on an impartial bias... you will likely find many different reasons...

Oh, that's deep and revealing.
To think, there are 21 million seperate stories as to why such rates of poverty exist in the majority population without a single structural component. Who'd a thunk?
Racial and ethnic minorities, women, children, and families headed by single women are particularly vulnerable to poverty and deep poverty.
Blacks and Hispanics are more likely than whites to be poor.
In 2005, 8.3% of non-Hispanic whites lived in poverty; 21.8% of Hispanics lived in poverty; and 24.9% of blacks lived in poverty.
6% of non-Hispanic white families lived in poverty; 20.6% of Hispanic families lived in poverty; and 23.8% of black families lived in poverty.
10% of non-Hispanic white children under 18 were poor; 28.3% of Hispanic children under 18 were poor; and 34.5 of black children under 18 were poor. Overall, 17.6% of children under 18 - 12,896,000 children - lived in poverty.
Not surprisingly, "Severely poor blacks (4.3 million) are more than three times as likely as non-Hispanic whites to be in deep poverty, while extremely poor Hispanics of any race (3.7 million) are more than twice as likely."

So you take one, just one link...and refute the others....lol! This is why we can't have a convo. because you refuse to look at the facts about your own people!
Off topic. We are not comparing who is more likely as a percentage to live in poverty (note the thread title), nor are we discussing who is more likely to live in poverty.
The discussion is about the 21 million plus non-hispanic whites who currently live in poverty and the reasons for their existence. The only time that non-whites come into play is in the removal of the standard arguments that cause of contribute to the poverty of ethnic minorities in the U.S, because if those government programs, asocial behaviors etc are the rational, then surely a class of individuals who do not suffer from those issues of causality would be free of poverty, yet instead we fine a significant number of white Americans living in poverty with no explanation other than their own personal failings.
