:what: You don't know your history. When whites became poor (im talking real poverty) during the Great Depression they went around blaming and killing black people more.Trust, that these stats are worthless when talking about white poverty. They are giving raw numbers instead of poverty rates to make people feel that white people are suffering. Increased white poverty is an opportunity to blame black people in some way or another. These white people get as salty as salt is white when they don't have money. Don't believe for one second if white people fell back to Great Depression level poverty, they will be siding with us in anyway against the white rich elite in this country.
Thats why i said hopefully bruh

Whatever happened to hard work and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps?
what ever happened to "the land of opportunities?" what happened to a living wage? what happened to "justice for all?"

damn near impossible these days. For most people even if you do manage to get a job in this economy, it simply isn't enough to support yourself or ya fam. The people at the top is leaving no room for us to eat brah.

I'm sick and tired of people complaining about the same shyt. Go to school, get a trade, create your own business, create your own job, you can do anything you put your mind to.

Ok lets explore these options:

1. School - Many people in this generation have a college education. As a result many of these graduates are in debt (50k+ interest). The job market is oversaturated with college graduates.

2. Open your a business. You serious on this brah? Its hard for small businesses to compete with these corporate giants.

3. People are trying to put their minds to it. But reality is options are extremely limited.

Simple answer first, if something doesn't work try something else

People need to ask why they are you 50k and debt and can't find a job? From there need to move forwards and change their situation.

Everything doesn't come overnight put money aside, create a business plan, find investors, find like minded people etc

If you have a degree or even if you don't you've got to create your own job in the market place or create your own model that's how you will be successful.

Try, try, and try again. I'm a young guy and I want everything right now too, but the world doesn't work that way for the most part.


Life isn't easy and it's not getting easier.

:wow: 88m3 is telling nothing but the truth in these last couple of post, I'd like to add something to what he said a lot a lot of people suck and managing there fiances

The one dude before said the american dream and that made me laugh the american dream is what has a bunch of people broke right now

Even when people get themselves a decent degree and by decent i mean something,anything that you can get a job with in the field of your choice , they come out and make 30-40k , but live way above there means , u can easily survive on that AND pay off your student loans in a decent time if you budget yourself, but the concept of a budget is such a foreign concept to most Americans, that you could give EVERY college graduate a 100k job and most would still be broke in a couple of years

and i speak from experience cause i was that dude at 20 with no college degree i was making 38k , working a dam security supervisor job, what did i go and do? get myself a brand new car , after a pay drop 2 years later i was broke , so i decided i should go back to school , what did my dumbdass do? went to one them 18 months schools , 18 months later and 25k in debt i had a "marketing" degree which i couldn't do shyt with, what did i go and do now? as a graduation present to myself? took a dam near 3k vacation to Dominican republic supplement this with 4 days a week in the strip club and $100 jeans/sneaker weekly lol that's just a sample

but many mistakes, horrible credit and a car repo later i learned , so what did i do? changed up , went back to school (community college first , them 2 year at a state school) got myself a degree in something that i liked to do, its not the most paying career (social work) but i like to do it and am good at it and you can find jobs if you network( ive done 3 internships and a americorps volutneership) , even after all that i went through 2 mid level paying jobs but wasn't happy and wanted more $$ and better benefits , so i made a choice and moved half way across the country, busted my ass looking jobs ( over 45 job applications in one and half months ) went to many many interviews and got myself great job now and live in a super cheap city , this will allow me to go and pay over 45k worth of loans in 2- 3 ( or at least try to )


long story short don't believe all the dam articles there are GOOD/GREAT/EXCELLENT paying jobs out there but you have to go out and look for them and if you cant find something in your field pick another field and once u do start making money be smart with your money or you will spend the rest of your life chasing a false dream

I put this right at the feet of liberalism.

Liberals policies are to be blamed for this

It's true. White people are finally starting to feel what we been feeling all of our lives. Hopefully this depression era will unite and educate people on the wealth disparity and corporate slave society in the US.
I wish I could believe that, but I think we're gonna see an increase in anger and resentment among whites, and a return of "every race for himself" type shyt.

The economy isn't as bad as the article suggests, but shyt is stagnating with no end in sight because neither party can get shyt done. Republicans are going to starve the economy until 2016, just watch.
