Let's Discuss Generational Poverty at Mock

There is a different set of behavioral and social norms in very poor communities. If the power went off for three days in my community, we would light candles and eat food out of the cupboard. If the power goes off in a poor community, they loot stores. Instead of getting the food their kids' need because they are starving, they go for the big screen TVs.

I hate to bust your bubble, but you know nothing about me.

I deal with poor people all the time; I have family members who are very poor financially, but have a great deal of class. Their children are well behaved and respectful. I help them financially because I have the means to do so.

I do a great deal of community service; I have been in many "poor" homes. I have seen clean homes of people that choose to live responsibility; I have seen plenty of rat traps as well.

Character or class have nothing to do with wealth; it is a choice people make. If you choose to be a victim you will be.
