]]> Comment on Gene Marks Takes On the Role of “A Poor Black Kid” by mechett http://phillygrrl.com/2011/12/13/gene-marks-takes-on-the-role-of-a-poor-black-kid/#comment-2613 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 19:33:52 +0000 http://phillygrrl.com/?p=3336#comment-2613 Thanks for the post. Race and class aside, I think this was a very good article; I plan to share with my husband and 9-year-old non-poor black son. Though we have a black president, we are still far from removing the institutional race and class disparities that persist in our country’s infrastructure. Brown and black children, rich and poor, are going to always have to work that much harder and SMARTER than their counterparts. Fair or not, that’s [unfortunately] the breaks. To realize it, accept it and act accordingly is what our children and families must do. Mr. Marks may be an old, bald white guy from the burbs, and not know a whole lot about the plight of poor black kids, but he still provides some valid/good points that, if followed, could prove useful and successful for any child from the inner city.

That article was one of the worst I’ve ever read. Such bad reasons for dating someone, totally moronic! Akin to the following..
Reasons to date across the Atlantic:
1.superficial view of life
2. can square dance
3. Likes Tom Cruise
4. Hear a daily stereotype on all races
5. Eat great burgers
6. Ask me for my fat-dripping fast food fried recipie
I can’t go on without wanting to vomit..

Because I think he does not have an understanding of what “poor” really looks like.

There’s nothing in this world I can’t live without – except, of course, a lip plumper.”

I need to work this phrase into my daily life.
