What is Riskier than living poor person in America?-MHP
“What is riskier than living poor person in America? Seriously! What in
the world is riskier than being a poor person in America? I live in a
neighborhood where people are shot on my street corner. I live in a
neighborhood where people have to figure out how to get their kid into
school because maybe it’ll be a good school or maybe it won’t. I am sick
of the idea that being wealthy is risky. No, there is a huge safety net
that, whenever you fail will catch you, and catch you, and catch you.
Being poor is what is risky. We have to create a safety net for poor
people. And when we won’t because they happen to look different from us
it is the pervasive ugliness.”
