The Source of Black Poverty Is __________.

[Jermyn Davidson]

FROM THE ARTICLE

There exist three options for that persistence, if we assume that culture might play a role.

(1) There is something about black culture that prevents black Americans from escaping poverty. We'll call this the black culture option.

(2) There is something about the culture of being poor that prevents the poor, regardless of race, from escaping poverty. We'll call this the culture-of-poverty option.

(3) There are no internal cultural forces at play. We'll call this, partly for the sake of stirring the pot, the racism exists option.

I want to discuss and analyze this subject in the context of this article-- but I am too tired tonight and I have work in the morning. Personally, I think the article really is a good read, regardless of my opinion on the subject discussed.
