Some fall prey to poverty due to others actions meaning a person goes out to get a loan and the moneylender has hidden clauses that the person does not see. When they default on the loan the moneylender can take everything causing the person to lose everything. .
We should all try and end poverty, as no one deserves that type of lifestyle. We need to diminish racism, and other economic problems that add to poverty. .
By strengthening a sense of security in general, the abolition of poverty will also diminish racism, for racism is aggravated by economic hardship and personal anxiety. This connection between racism and the economy is illustrated by one finding reported in a poll conducted by The Washington Post, the Kaiser Family Foundation, and Harvard University. This poll reported that among those people experiencing the most eco-nomic distress, 57 percent said racial tensions were increasing, compared to only 39 percent among those who were worried least about their economic condition. The same survey found other signs of persistent racism among many whites. Most whites, for example, believe that the average black is doing as well economically as the average white, though in fact whites earn 60 percent more than whites. And only 38 percent of whites said that they believe that racism is "a big problem in our society today." This denial that racism is a problem is itself a form of racism. Even more revealing is that compared to whites that were more accurate about the relative status of blacks, those who were persistently wrong (38 percent of the total) were: .
Twice as likely to support cuts in food stamps spending; twice as likely to believe that "self-help" is the solution for black progress; and four times as likely to believe that "reverse discrimination" against whites is more serious than discrimination against minorities. .
The evidence of serious discrimination throughout the society is compelling.
