Originally posted by Big Daddy Kane: I am white and my mom, my sister, and I grew up on a $500/month child support check and gov't assistance. Realize that $250/month of that went to rent to slumlords. I've waited in line at a food bank to get some gov't canned food. I've gone dumpster diving to get clothes/toys. I've gone to bed hungry/cold because we didn't have any money.
When I graduated High School, I couldn't afford to go to college, so guess what? I'm in the Air Force working a low-asvab-score job (I didn't get a low score, I was voluntold that this was my job in basic).
Don't tell me to get my head out of my ass!
i'm happy for you. i really am. (my wife grew up in the same conditions.. and eventually got accepted to yale!) but as i said, the VAST majority of the people living in these conditions are minority. and your head is in fact up your ass if you think otherwise.
