eh it doesn't bother me, I guess it is a bit "Republican" of me as well.
Also, I'm not poor anymore. See I was born poor, then I said fuck that shit and made money.
You can call me ignorant if you wish, however I'm willing to wager that I've seen a bit more than you have, been a few more places and done a few more things. I suppose it's just a matter of perspective though.
I wasn't saying that all poor people are racist, just that being poor lends itself to ignorance and thus racism. And yes, the current state of many minority people living in poverty can be attributed (at least in part) to racial bias and racism in the past. I'm not arguing that fact, what I am arguing is that in the current climate you're far less likely to encounter something like that, and honestly I haven't seen any figures from you to represent your side of the deal, so it's just as much "all CEO's are white supremicists" as my "Work harder brokey."
Basically it's all a lot of feelings derived from whatever experience (probably TV in your case.) without a lot of substance. So I'll tell you what, I will seriously try to do some fact based research on the subject and get back to you, if I prove myself (or am proven) totally wrong I will be big enough to admit it, I mean I'd rather be right of course because if I am right that means people aren't a bunch of horribly racist fucks, but I completely accept the possibility of being totally assbackwards wrong.
I just need a few concrete figures before I jump on the bandwagon, as (you have stated) my experiences in life have shown me that racism isn't a problem if you apply yourself.
