27. "RE: The real problem with poor people is..." In response to In response to 10
I think the problem this discussion is turning into is 'all' vs 'some'.
Are all poor people lazy? Of course not. Are some poor people lazy? I would say yes (although I not even going to attempt giving a percentage).
Can all poor people get jobs? (No, studies on the current welfare state is proving that) Are some poor people not working out of choice? Yeah, I think some are.
Can all of poor people's problems be blamed on racism? A huge percentage can easily be but not 100%.
Until, we agree on this (maybe we can't) this discussion might not get anywhere.
