America is the wealthiest nation in history? You don't mean how much the avg person has right? Cause by that metric isn't the US like 15th?

What metric are you using?

I mean... I'm not talking about average personal wealth, I'm talking about economic power on the macro scale.

I want to say I grew up poor, but it really wasn't a terrible situation. Sure, some birthday's and Christmas gifts were donations my parents got. We didn't do vacations. But there was always a roof over our head and food on the table, which put us in a damn good situation compared to what other poor people grew up with.

That's how I felt about my childhood as well. I think my dad was disappointed it wasn't better but I don't have a lot of painful memories of having to go without.

I do think my current lifestyle feels like it's a total 180, though.

Most Amercians are broke, not poor. These two things are not actually the same.

In your opinion, what is the threshold for poverty, TC? Also, what is the relevance of "white" in this context? Do explain.

The only difference between poor white people and poor black people is that poor white people think it isnt supposed to be happening to them.

Did you know that this is not an opinion and there's actually a set line that defines poverty?

Technically? Yes, but that doesn't stop people from thinking something different anyway.

White poor largely includes non-urban populations as well, the situations faced by the populations will of course vary greatly compared to black or Latino poor who are largely urban populations.

There is of course overlap in both directions. If you want to see what happens if people try to examine the differences simply read this topic, I believe it is obvious any attempts will be met with rejection if not outright hostility.

whatevs, have your fun

Mostly the people saying any division of white poor is inherently racist, denying privilege, simply saying they think they dont deserve it, calling them white trash, etc, etc, that occurred here without one person actually addressing the distinction.

Like I said whatever, I dont actually come here for the discussions, but it is rather silly.

When I was a kid we had a house but nearly lost it a number of times, we were mortgage poor which is exactly the same as being poor just you have a nice house. It very much sucks.

Yeah, he meant it exactly like that too!... it wasn't an old man mis-speaking something that was somewhat less offensive but still patronizing.

I miss Obama, it was nice having a president that wasn't ancient and constantly making verbal gaffes.

---
Edit side note: It's always funny how even in the post Trump/MTG/Boebert/Gosar/Tupperville/Goehmert era they can still latch on to the occasional mis-spoken quote from a democrat and remember it forever like an elephant. Meanwhile those people I listed say something intentionally stupid and offensive every week or so.
