Why are black poor Americans more optimistic than white ones?

Timberland bootstraps :Bigwow3:

cacs are going extinct there's a lot to fret about


If @the cac mamba spends his McDonald's salary on meth instead of Old Crow and car dates with his sister and cousin then that's a wrap.

So all the world's problems will be solved soon?

because we're used to our position....white people see people who are exactly like them, the only difference is money, if you can't win with your inherent white privilege, that's fukking sad

Black people are born knowing they aren’t owed or will be given anything.

Whites people I’ve noticed always measure there successes based on standing over someone else.

Exactly. Nothing more to be said.

We're just more used to adversity. And (DEAD7 notwithstanding) don't spend all day watching FOX News fearmongering.

They don't feel the same sense of alienation as poor whites and I think there is likely a greater sense of community that poor whites don't have I suppose. Interestingly the BBC had a documentary on death rates of white males and they went to Montana and spoke to a bunch of white people there (not all poor) but they all had this rugged individualism mindset up in the mountains and felt lonely and depressed when it didn't turn out so great.
Here is an excerpt and at 12:39 this dude says "things have changed, if I am not the boss who am I? If my boss is a Muslim woman what does that mean" I don't think poor minorities feel that same need for what some researchers call social dominance orientation, they see the landscape changing from a society set up to engage with them to a pluralistic one where their needs are not front and center.

OMG, is there really a documentary about this?

That old Chris Rock joke, black people know how to be broke. White people feel like they have a birth right to riches, so being poor is like 'white privilege is failing me "

Ain't no recession in the hood. You just keep going.

Good post. So in other words, the majority of white people are SPOILED BRATS.

Their lungs and muscles have atrophied. They don’t know what a competition that isn’t rigged looks like.

If you give us the resources, we will thrive.

They were given the world and they are still chewing on their pistols and opioids. Maybe Nature does not want them here.
