Hell, I grew up much poorer than some of you!
Did you grow up much blacker, too?

Because the point is that no matter how poor, opportunities exist for whites that aren't there for nonwhites. This made it easier for you to overcome your poverty (but apparently not the attendant values of poor white Americans).

Seriously, this isn't that hard, Tom. Your outrage is misplaced, even in C-Land.
