White Americans face more economic insecurity than the government admits

[mota bhai 2,675]

Four out of 5 U.S. adults struggle with joblessness, near-poverty or reliance on welfare for at least parts of their lives, a sign of deteriorating economic security and an elusive American dream.

Survey data exclusive to The Associated Press points to an increasingly globalized U.S. economy, the widening gap between rich and poor, and the loss of good-paying manufacturing jobs as reasons for the trend.

...

Economic insecurity among whites ... is more pervasive than is shown in the government's poverty data, engulfing more than 76 percent of white adults by the time they turn 60, according to a new economic gauge being published next year by the Oxford University Press.

The gauge defines "economic insecurity" as a year or more of periodic joblessness, reliance on government aid such as food stamps or income below 150 percent of the poverty line. Measured across all races, the risk of economic insecurity rises to 79 percent.

...

"There is the real possibility that white alienation will increase if steps are not taken to highlight and address inequality on a broad front," Wilson [a Harvard professor who specializes in race and poverty] said.

I read on VJ that if you vote Republican, it makes you rich.

Don't make fun of white people, it's not nice.

I can because I'm white.

(That's what people say, right?)

You're a liberal. Liberals are barely human.

I just looked up what your username means. Fat brother, huh?

Anyway, the answer to white problems is to vote Republican. Rich people are Republicans so if you vote with them, it makes you rich too.

--For the first time since 1975, the number of white single-mother households living in poverty with children surpassed or equaled black ones in the past decade, spurred by job losses and faster rates of out-of-wedlock births among whites. White single-mother families in poverty stood at nearly 1.5 million in 2011, comparable to the number for blacks. Hispanic single-mother families in poverty trailed at 1.2 million.

Did you read this? Black women are not the leading single, poor baby mommas. Holy ####### Batman. This article is going to make some racists mad.

Not exactly. You just ran into the biggest reason online translators and dictionaries are #######.

There are about what, 4 times as many white people in this country?

Aww, but it spelled Hindi for me from English. That was handy.

I went with a different interpretation, any better?

That doesn't matter. Everyone says that black single baby mommas are the poorest and because of their ####### children we have so many menaces to society and indeed black women are not.

Maybe you should go back and read some topics.

We all know percentages can be deceiving. Percentages are used by people who want to make a biased point. Like how I see these biased points being made in the Current Events sections about blacks all the time.

No matter what you say, what is the actual freaking number? If the actual number is not more, then you are talking squat in a toilet.
