So you were poor, and so was I. You haven't been discriminated against in the myriad ways that African Americans have been and still are though. Your ancestors weren't brought here against their will and separated from their families forcefully. You weren't denied rights based on your race, and you weren't subjected to the systematic repression of your hope, faith or ideals. How are they being propped up? How are they getting more than you did? And why shouldn't people in need, get help? Did you have a dad around for your entire childhood? You cannot relate to that situation, and apparently you haven't bothered to try.
