Race doesn't matter, socieo-economic backround doesn't matter, and if you're popping out kids it's your fault. I am white and I was poor. Welfare poor. Dirty nasty house, with soggy laundry all over the floor and roaches. I lived in a terrible neighboorhood and got beat up alot. My parents were idiots. I and my sister were sexually abused and I have my own set of mental issues surrounding this. But I am overcoming them. I am now 21 and life is good. You know why, because I work and I'm not lazy. I work fourty hours a week at safeway and am taking four classes at a community college. It was my first job and four years later, I still have it. Know why? Because I worked. Things are good. I have a beautiful woman, a puppy (which costed $500), I drink expensive beer every night and I,m going to school for free because of the pell grant. That's right a 5,000 dollar check just to get me on the right track. Because I grew up poor. Because people in this country who are succesful want other's to be succesful. They don't want people dependent on welfare, they want people working against the odds and becoming success stories. I now pay taxes about 18 percent. I hope that money goes to people who are going to school and taking good care of their kids. Oh yeah and just because I am white does not mean that I am priviledged. Not by any means. Some companies are reluctant to turn down minorities for fear of backlash from the equal right's activists. I'm all for equal rights, but I'm not for feeling guilty about being white.--Dangit!
