Perhaps they are in jail because they are poor and couldn't afford the best legal team money can buy like OJ did. However, they are criminals because of a reasons that are much complex & dynamic then simple poverty. A lot more of it has to do with an off-center moral compass then poverty. I grew-up with quite a bit less then a silver spoon in my mouth. I'm not in the slams.

I agree, the little hand pat that Martha got was an insult and a huge disappointment. Money CAN buy you favoritism.

I don't think that whites are the worst either. I believe many races teach their children certain things that help feed their own oppression

Kate, you're being vague here....what are you saying?
A friend of mine currently lives and grew up in her neighborhood. The people that live around her thinks she's a pompous ass. She's very arrogant and looks at us common folk as modern day low class peasants.
Of course there is more to it than poverty, but that is a top major contributor. I remember several years ago, I stopped in to see one of my best friends grandma. We had moved her to an apartment for seniors not long before in a community about 30minutes out of town. I was right nearby camping with a scout troop and drove into town to see her. She had been a school teacher many years ago in England. And it was interesting the stories she had about the kids from "the other side of the tracks". How when they came to school for the first days they weren't toilet trained like the other kids, didn't speak well and used "such improper English". I thought gee, that sounds like the ghetto kindergarteners you see here. That's when I really saw that it has more to do with upbringing and your surroundings than it does with race.
the good thing is...they werent 17 when they had us
The bad thing is your mom didn't have an aborthion when she had the chance...
That group doesn't exist, I looked.... ROFL!!
I am NO FAT brightly collored BIRD!!!
.... oh, wait... Nevermind.

I'm sorry, I just don't buy it. Way to many people I know decided they didn't like the poverty of their youth and decided to overcome it with hard-work, dedication & education. The easiest way to end poverty is through education. However, when your parents aren't educated and place no value on it often the children do not either. And thus the cycle continues.
I think whites have made enough progress against racism to not be any worse than any other group. IMO, politicians and many minority group leaders like to play the race card to get votes and/or to retain their lucrative positions. All this phony posturing does nothing to actually reduce racism. In fact, I think many of them want more of it to further their own personal acquisition of power and money.
The bad thing is your mom didn't have an aborthion when she had the chance...Hey uhh kate, sweetie...you would know alot about abortions wouldnt you...how many has a D-BAG like you actually had??by the way,it is legalized murder and as far as posts...I didnt start this war,,,you or some other bleeding heart slammed a guy for asking for a decent place to live in DC...and ill post whatever,whenever I want...

And here in lies the rub. There are to many things that won't go away that need to because of the money certain people make off them still existing. Where would good old Al Sharpton be if there was some rabble to be roused?
Same thing with Pot. It will never get legalized because of the money that is made off it being illegal.
It's still true. You have to take into consideration not just the effects of poverty but also the causes. No one said that some people will not go the other direction. Poitn, there are a lot of little criminals in the nice suburbs as well.
