[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I must say it's interesting that all my white relatives, of varying income and education levels, rail against low income black people and other minorities and ask, "what about personal responsibility?"

Yet apparently unemployed whites in the rust belt don't have to be personally responsible for their fate. [/quote]
Why didn't they move to farm country and take the $10/hr jobs that are offered to American workers?  Americans used to move to where the jobs are. Now, they just sit on their asses and complain about how the government doesn't bring them jobs.[/quote]

The Great Recession changed people's moving rates. If you think people aren't still scared, then I assume you don't know anyone affected by the Great Depression.[/quote]
The Great Depression saw lots of people moving for jobs, and it was a damn hell harder to move back then than it is today. Spare me the "you don't know what it's like".  My father was a blue collar worker in a manufacturing plant who got laid off; I also at one point got laid off.  Neither of us blamed the government. We updated our skills and found a new job. That's called personal responsibility.  Oh, and he had limited English skills, to boot.[/quote]

Thank you.  I'm black and my dad had a 3rd grade education.  You know what, he didn't blame anyone.  He sent his kids to college.  My parents SOLD THEIR HOUSE to send me to college.  They made a huge sacrifice.  Poor white folks need to make the same sacrifices.  Stop playing the victim card.

Now that my parents made the sacrifice, I am a lawyer and I will enjoy reading the classics and enjoying fine wine:)[/quote]

That sounds a bit discriminatory against whites TBH. Do you know a lot of poor white people? How are you so certain that they suck so much more than poor non-white people as a rule? Are you genuinely unfamiliar with minorities who play the victim?

You honestly seem kinda privileged. No one paid my way through college or law school but me. [/quote]

FWIW, I paid my own way through law school.  My parents sold their house.  Could your parents have sold theirs?  My parents thought the sacrifice was worth it.  They didn't ask for anything, including from the government - through student loans.  Oh, and I did work in college.  I am privileged, but because my parents sacrificed and told me to excel in school.  They didn't sit around waiting for the government to get them jobs and save them from their poor educations.[/quote]

Agree that no one should sit around waiting for government to help them. I don't think that's exclusive to whites though.

My parents weren't good parents TBH. I'm doing it on my own.

I disagree with you about some stuff but you sound like someone I could respect.
