maybe that's because your parents didn't let you see black people until you were 9.
clearly they set out from the very beginning to isolate you from the poor (aka the bulk of humanity) and from other races so you could grow up and vote republican out of total ignorance and live in an isolated fortress somewhere.
You'll never be free unless you do something drastic to get closer to poor people. I feel sorry for you.
No, they weren't trying to isolate me. They just wanted me to get a good education, and obviously, on average the public schools in this country suck. The one's in my area are pretty bad. Some of them only have graduation rates of about 70%.
I don't want to be closer to poor people. I hung out in trailer parks and lower income areas for a good period of time when I was 18-20. I made friends with people there, thinking that everyone should be given an equal chance. I eventually changed my mind because I realized that everyone I met was, by and large, scum. Thieves, drunks, people who didn't take care of their children or their animals.
I learned a lot of things from my time hanging out in lower income areas and with people who grew up there. Some key things being- 1) These people in general have much looser morals than the upper middle class. Overall, a much greater percentage has no problem with thievery, backstabbing, and a lack of loyalty. 2) They're much less educated. 3) They take poor care of their children. 4) Most of them are poor because they just don't give a damn. They don't even try to better their situations. A huge number are satisfied with being social parasites and living off of government aid. 5) Instead of approaching situations rationally, most of the males are willing to resort to intimidation and violence. 6) They tend to spend a disproportionate amount of money on luxury items when they can barely afford to pay for their necessities. You don't need an XBox, flat screen TV, new car with rims, new shoes, when your kids are hungry and need braces.
I've seen both sides of the coin. I grew up in privileged environments, around other children of privileged environments. The sons and daughters of doctors, lawyers, judges, councilmen, businessmen and scientists. I've hung out with plenty of groups of people in downtown and other lower income areas here.
I'd much rather stick with people who know how to apply themselves, think and rationalize, succeed, who care about more than just pussy and getting crunk.
That being said, I don't dislike people just because of their income bracket. I'm certainly willing to spend time with someone before I write them off. My girlfriend came from dirt, got taken from her mother by the government because her mother was a good example of lower class scum, but she's putting herself through college, paid for her own car, own apartment, everything she does she pays for herself and works her ass off every day.
But overall, I find people of lower class heritage to be distasteful.
