Of course people with other skin color are also affected by poverty, or whatever it means to be a have-not, why wouldn't they be? I didn't say the focus must be on skin color. I'm saying to disregard why certain groups are represented in the haves/have-nots, you must ignore history. I don't believe you're arguing in good faith if you think point out that racism exists/existed, and you call that "racism shit"

I called your argument "this racism shit" since you're trying to argue how some people today are poor because of events from 150 years ago and not do to their own actions or inactions. That would be like me blaming my lack of financial success in life on the Ottoman empire's occupation of my country. How about personal responsibility? How can you blame people you've never met and who are long dead for why you're poor today. Why is it that Iranians, Indians, Taiwanese, Chinese, and other Asians who emigrate to the US with little to no money can become very successful within 1-2 generations despite being poor foreign immigrants while a certain minority of the US citizens who enjoy rights and benefits immigrants do not seem to be stuck in poverty/crime and keep blaming history for it? Is it because some cultures value education highly while a US minority does not? It's not your fault you are born into poverty but it's your responsibility to do your best to get out of it. Who is stopping that minority group from going to school/college or trades to escape poverty?

  Interesting. I wonder what could be the cause that a certain minority culture doesn't value education highly? Go out on a limb, what could it possibly be.

    I dunno, you tell us why, since so far you haven't made any arguments, but kept baiting and beating it around the bush with loaded questions. Just say what you want to say.
