Decent sentiment but wrong execution.
You don't just "give" people in the hood cash. You set up vouchers to be used accordingly.
Its not so much that there just supid and want video games over socks its the fact when you grow up like that, for the most part. Your comfortable like that, so anything else is bonus.
Obviously its nice to have new socks, tees and whatnot. But if your used to living in a certain way, yer good.
And also, poverty aint a black thing. Its a situational thing.
Obviously in the states the majority of poverty is painted with a black face, but that's not the reason.
The reason is the situation they were brought that snowballed into generations of subsequential failure.
I'm from one of the shadiest areas of canada. Where blacks make up a demographic of probably less than 5%.
And before you pass of the fact its "just" canada, give your head a shake. And no, I'm not gonna kindle another one of these stupid debates nor am I gonna drop the name of said city.
Just remember, poverty is SITUATIONAL not racial. It just so happens that your country was built on opression to a certain minority.
What the fuck you think was gonna happen?
