“I would have to say that the situation he said is true to a certain extent in many White communities. The problem I have with him is he GENERALIZES it to every single white community without differentiating those who are truly hurting with those who are irresponsible.”
I disagree. He was very careful to differentiate between “poor white America” dependent upon welfare, addiction, and anarchy and those who are successful, educated, and contributing to society.
In effect, he is saying there is a “poor white American” ghetto with the same irresponsible behavior patterns that have destroyed the black inner cities.
His advice is the best thing for them to do is to rent a U-Haul and move. BTW, he pretty much described my background. Been there. He’s right. The only way out is moving.
I agree with you. I’m amazed that conservatives think drug addiction, violent crime, welfare/disability fraud, rampant illegitimacy, and so on are ... what, picturesque? ... if the participants are white. Life without personal restraint and personal responsibility is vicious, regardless of the skin tone of the participants.
