(901 posts)I'm from very red Southern Illinois and before I escaped to the west coast I always used to hear about lazy black people. That they live in ghettos because they won't work but of course when white folks don't have anything its because of the federal government. Just typical conservative hypocrisy. They want to complain about stuff that doesn't effect them in anyway just to make themselves feel better about not having everything they feel entitled to. No one is really rich from where I'm from but they all seem to think it's going to happen tomorrow. They live in a bubble of only experiencing other cultures from news and tv. They only know the American dream that is stuffed down their throats every night on the fantasy tube. They really think they are driving a 10 year old car while all black thugs are driving brand new Cadillacs. They just don't know because they've never experienced life outside the cornfields. It's not going to change. Probably just going to get worse. It pretty much boils down to jealousy. It really does suck to live in such a rural area doing the same thing over and over again and as long as they perceive someone living better or having a better time then them they will always find an excuse for why it's not them.
