People are poor because
-it means they are eligible for gov't support
-too lazy to work
-thought they'd end up fine w/out a HS diploma
-thought a GED was just a good
-simply can't make ends meet

no matter the race

According to proponents of white privilege, that's not possible. No matter how dirt poor you may be, if you are of European descent, you are benefitting from the system of white privilege, and are thus perpetuating racism and are a part of the problem.
