I thought white privilege was the correct answer to the question

Maybe that's what brew was saying?

Gene, only some are born into poverty. You can be born rich, middle class, or poor. Your are born and your parents are homeless. You are born and your parents are English royalty. 2 rather different circumstances. Quite different circumstances. That kid born to the homeless couple could go on to be a billionaire. The kid who is royalty could end up on the street as a drug addict. How likely do you think they end up that way in reality?

The easiest route to prosperity is to have key contacts within the Democratic Party central planning leadership.

Prosperity comes from education (through high school), individual reading and other skills, guts/balls, hard work, long hours, treating others well and a sprinkling of luck (which some people make on their own).

Brewha, opportunity is real, you make your own luck through hard work, skin color isn't in the equation. If you are a minority and have the same qualifications you get the job, not the white guy. Let's talk welfare reform, it keeps people in bondage no matter what their skin color. I am not talking about doing away with it, on the contrary, probably spending more. Good hospitals, good schools, good trade schools, improving neighborhoods. A definition of insanity is to keep doing something that doesn't work. I would love to take the money spent on welfare and Elon Musk reimagine how to best use it to get the most value out of a dollar. Truely I think the system holds people back.

By "system" he means democrats liberal, progressive, enslavement policies. Making rock bottom more comfy.
Here, have a Crack pipe, free food, some walking around money & a fresh needle.
Only if your an "under-served" minority of course.

If you never saw racism or sexism in the work place it’s because you never worked or did not look. Cause it’s there Bro. Big as life and twice as ugly.

Yes people fall into taking a “free” life in poverty. Yes people defrauded the system - some are really, really good at it. Maybe they even go into office….

While you look at reforming welfare, consider if we could defeat the waste of wealth concentration.

Clearly a different one that you do.

If you want to talk racism, supremacy, systemic racism, race prejudice then we can talk. Those are all real and there are others.

But poverty doesn't know color. Go to Appalachia, lots of white people live in poverty there. Go to any major urban area, homelessness knows no color. Go look at drug addicts, they come in all colors.

If you want to talk about the second paragraph then skin color absolutely does.

Wealth concentration, you say??



I know how you love videos, Brewha... spend the less than 6 minutes and watch.

And before you shoot the messenger... consider the actual message and if you disagree with it, tell me why?

Fair enough.

Poor people do not come exclusively from a single cause. Nor do the prosperous.

Welfare can be a trap - we should work to better that.
Inequality is damaging - we should work to better that too.

It is a good question; what caused prosperity.

Maybe:
Perseverance
Opportunity
Luck


Top three anyone?

You said it takes testicular fortitude.

I recognize you as lacking this attribute.

Cows are brown. It must be a cow.

Do try to keep up. I don't want to be considered a bully as a result of your inadequacies.
