You can't interject immigrants into this conversation. We all came from somewhere else (unless you are a true Native American). We have our own rules for American Generational Poverty. I'm not talking about the poor Irish or the starving Russians or persecuted Jews, etc. That is called situational poverty (as in the Great Depression). Generational poverty is what we are brewing in our projects and trailer parks. It IS different. Completely.
There is a marked difference in cultures. If you don't think so, you live in an insulated district and don't hang out in the poor part of town too often. LC should be able to clarify this fact. Ever watched Cops and wondered if people like that are real? They are. And it is more common than you see. You just don't live in it.
