"If you're poor & White, you're seen as bottom of the totem pole."

[Neuromancer]

I think he's a victim of being white and that's too bad. He should curse the system his people wrought and work to destroy it.

 

[ORDER_66]

Sabotaged your whiteness when your born into a family of upwardly mobile cacs..

 

[ThrobbingHood]

So you, a college educated Black man, moved into the same apartment building as a meth addicted CaC who had been cut off from his family.....how in the hell is he bottom of the totem pole?

Where do you think the poor drug addicted Black folk are living?

He claims that's how he's seen (i never said I fully agreed with him). And I didn't live there long. I only lived in that shytty area temporarily to have my own space.

He had been clean a while when I moved in at the time though.

 

[O³ (O cubed)]

Nah. He's wrong. He could commit a dozen petty crimes and still be out on the streets. Let a middle class brother do the same and see what it is.

 

[mag357]

Broke white ppl are ******s to upper middle class white ppl...

And upper middle class white ppl are ******s to the Elite.

 

[YoungMoneyCashMoneyBoy]

They're still not getting killed by the police at an alarming rate.

If poor whites are on the bottom of the totem pole, we're below the ground that supports that totem pole.

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

He’s telling lies, poor whites get treated like babies...he’s just a fukk-up

 

[Wildin]

He's one of the few CACS that are open and honest about racism. It's always good to get Intel.

This isn't Intel. And he's not being open and honest. He blaming and making excuses. If you don't feel like your wasting your time interacting with this guy then do you.

 

[number21]

To be fair to him, he doesn't preach that. He says straight up that it's every man for himself. I don't really trust CACS but when you have nothing to lose, honesty is the only thing you can control.

He said if he had not fukked up, he would've enjoyed the perks of being a rich white man and only feel guilty now and again. Why wouldn't he take advantage of a system that benefits him?

Facts about the point of honesty and I would add to his point about how its every man for himself and his own group.

Also, it seems like he wants some motivation, help, and/or pity from you. Cause unless hes old as hell and/or disabled with the system being geared towards his success, he will still have the time to reach that goal or at least have the ability to live comfortably.

But anyways breh if you find picking the mind of a white fukkup is worthwhile. More power to you.

"being white isn't great unless you're rich and white. When you're poor and white, unless you're a first generation immigrant, everyone looks down on you for wasting your white opportunity, especially white people. You can't truly enjoy whiteness unless you have money. I'd trade my whiteness If I could be rich and any other ethnicity.

When you're poor and non-white, society doesn't have the same expectations for you. People are more sympathetic (mainly quietly) knowing that the odds are against a minority from a poor background. When you over achieve and are a minority, you're seen as "special" and one of a kind. That's why white people love Jordan, Lebron, Michael Jackson etc.

The fact they defied all expectations and prospered in a racist system is like a miracle story to them. When they see poor white people, they look at us with contempt. Like a wasted opportunity. Yeah, that are more more opprtunities to pull yourself out of poverty if you're white but unless you have the right connections or have the right surname, no one will help you."

This bullshyt right here

White people "struggles" are jokes, these mfs have endless networks that keep them from falling, but somehow they always find a way to complain over the silliest adversities

is this mufukka an actual black man? seems like every time i see this guy post, he is saying some suspect shyt.

 

[ThrobbingHood]

He got you buying into his white-splaining.

They don’t put expectations on ADOS because they see us as monkeys.

They put expectations on him because they see him as white and capable.

If they saw him as lower than us they would never have had an expectation set to even gauge his success to. That’s why in your example about ADOS success makes sense because if you’re on crack in the hood, you just doing what you do but if you are Michael Jackson you performed above their expectations. shyt a nikka with a good job that takes care of his kids is beyond a lot of these people’s expectations...that’s how little they think of us.

The disdain for him comes in that he had life set up for him as a white man and he squandered and chose to live like “the monkeys”. They don’t see him as less than us, the see him as a perpetual “slummer”...gentlemen only slum on the weekends in the dark alleys while he is relishing in it.

That muhfukka could take a shower and elevate back up...ADOS don’t have that privilege. That’s why you can’t be accepting this liberal fukk’s take on shyt cuz they will die for their privilege while simultaneously talking about equality.

I did put "cacsplaining" in the tags so I sense that. I think his point of view is that white people have low expectations for us because they know they've systematically oppressed us.

I don't know. It was an Intresting conversation. I only posted a snippet of it.

 

[151_Pr00f]

He has a point. Poor whites dont exist in political or social discussion. When was the last time you've seen policy specifically address the issue of white poverty? They are the majority of the poor in the US, notwithstanding ADOS disproportionate representation at the bottom.

Whiteness still trumps solidarity with non white "others" though, which accounts for why socialist reforms never really took off in America and the ones currently in place are quickly eroding. White people cutting nose to spite their face. Its the reason for the dramatic reduction in white males life expectancy in the last decade. Racism hurts everyone.

 

[ThrobbingHood]

This isn't Intel. And he's not being open and honest. He blaming and making excuses. If you don't feel like your wasting your time interacting with this guy then do you.

I only talk to him now and again. He's never made excuses to me. He' has always been upfront about him fukking up his whiteness. I told him straight that I didn't have any sympathy for him.

Facts about the point of honesty and it seems like he wants some motivation, help, and/or pity from you. Cause unless hes old as hell and/or disabled with the system being geared towards his success, he will still have the time to reach that goal or at least have the ability to live comfortably.

Just passes the time. I probably catch up with him a few times a year at most since he was a cool neighbour. We both shared the same music taste so we bonded over that.

Again, he acknowledged to me they have way more opprtunties which is why there's no excuse to be poor and white unless you're a fukk up. Which he is.

@ThrobbingHood
With all due respect, how is any of this a revelation to you? What do you think the term "poor white trash" means?
