Bye!

You seemed to conveniently ignore the long history of Whites in South Africa denying Black South Africans adequate education, job opportunities or access to finanicial capital. It faily easy for one group of people to acculumate vast amounts of wealth if they are doing everything in their power over a hundred or several hundred years to prevent other groups to have the same opportunities that they enjoy. The situation is changing in the United States and it's also changing in South Africa.

What you fail to realize is that poverty is NOT a race issue. Poverty is a cultural mindset, and regardless of race, poverty affects people from a deeper, more complex level than your mind is able to comprehend. To think that RACE is the only factor and that minorities on a whole contribute more to poverty than their white counterparts is LAUGHABLE. haha. I'm laughing at you. Take a class, read a book, or simply dare to venture outside of your prejudiced way of thinking. You are the problem. Not minorities, not even poor white people. You-- For perpetuating the notion that minorities and poverty are synonymous and that diversity is a bad thing. Your refusal to find solutions while you stroke social issues with a broad brush of intolerance will only make your existence in society that much harder. Accept change and adapt and stop propagating your ill-informed beliefs as fact. Aside from that, and whether you or others like you ever change, I truly feel sorry for you and your limited view of others not like you.
Thank you for adding some honesty to this conversation. You can go to sections of Kentucky, West Virgina, Mississippi and Tennessee and see abject povery among White Americans. Poor White Americans are far more likely to live in rural areas than urban ones, which is why they are not in the public view as much. Another reason is that the media tends not to focus White Americans living in poverty as they do non-White groups.

If you look up the makeup of low income families in America by race here is what you would find.

42% of Low Income Families are White

30% of Low Income Families are Hispanic

21% of Low Income Families are Black

6% of Low Income Families are of other racial groups.

Raicial and Ethnic Disparities of Low Income Families

They aren't all in ghetto's. Many of them are in housing building apartments. Those apartments are incredibly nice and spacious...it's living in luxury compared to other apartments not funded by tax dollars. They don't get away with trashing/destroying property when it's a government run building paid for by the taxpayers. Yet they do get away with having more babies and get this when they get too old to have more babies they take in the pregnant daughter and take in one of the kids she has to stay in section 8 and get checks. what the hell they didn't pay enough into Social Security so they dont much of that so why not keep in the system of free rent living and get paid checks for free food and free everything else. I know of some who actually manage to get charge cards and buy all they want until the bills pile up so high they finally aren't allowed to use the charge card anymore but the charge card Company can't collect the money they owe because they are on assistance. You would think the Charge Card Company would think to check them out and see if they are on assistance, which would show they can't afford to have a charge card, but no they have to respect their rights so they get away with using the cards.

Oh like no White American has ever been involved in gang activity?

Why aren't you saying the same thing about the gangs of:

Al Capone

Meyer Lansky

Dean O'Banion

Lucky Luciano

Vito Genovese

Carlo Gambino

Dutch Schultz

John Gotti

and last but not least WHITEY BULGER!

The fact of the matter is just about every immigrant and non-Anglo Saxon group in this country has at one time resorted to organized criminal enterprise.

Why?

Historically groups of people in this country that ARE DENIED ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL OPPORTUNITY resort to criminal enterprise for financial gain.

So by your take on the matter when White Americans engage in organized criminal activity it's perfectly O.K. but when non-White do the same thing it respresents a threat to the future of the country?

Gotcha!

I guess that's why in the last 50 years the number of Black Americans has more than double but the number of Black Americans with bachelor degrees or higher HAS INCREASED SIX TIMES!

Thanks for sharing!

Another example of prejudice based on IGNORANCE!

UT Freshman Class: Majority of Minority Students

Quote:
September 14, 2010

This year's incoming freshmen make up the first class enrolled in UT's history with fewer white students than minority students, according to a report from the University of Texas Office of Information Management and Analysis.


The number of this year's incoming students self-identifying as "white" on admissions forms was 47.6 percent. Last year, 51.1 percent of students identified as such. The total enrollment of the school is 52.1 percent white at this time.

The Texas Tribune has a breakdown of enrollment figures based on demographics, comparing 2009 enrollment to this year's numbers.

Officials say that UT's enrollment is a reflection of the changing demographic makeup of Texas. Based on 2009 census estimates, 46.7 percent of Texans self-identify as white, non-Hispanic.
