[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Also, as someone who grew up amid the poor, uneducated white people of Appalachia, I'd like to see some attention to the "culture problem" there. Multi-generational poverty, domestic abuse, rampant drug abuse, terrible schools, high teenage birth rate, hopelessness--everything Paul Ryan and his type decry in urban black populations[/quote]

This has been a problem for lots longer than the inner city problem--I think.  I don't have an answer to this.  Jobs would help.[/quote]

Republicans blame job loss when white communities are besieged by the pathologies above. When black communities suffer from the same problems, Republicans blame the "culture." In other words, bad things might *happen* to white people, but black people cause their own problems. Same old story.[/quote]

+1  Either there are jobs available or there aren't.  Even in DC, unemployment is low overall, but I don't know about a lot of unfilled jobs except maybe in some high skill professions.[/quote]
