On Why I Hate Some Poor People

This might seem like classic trolling, but it's only in this new era where the value worship of self esteem has overflowed by it's zenith into pure disdain for the opinions and feelings of others that we're all starting to say to ourselves...if you can't beat 'em, join em!

We're all honor bound to respect the individuality of everyone yet our thoughts and our minds don't work this way. If you're a victim of bullying, mysoginy, sexism, or racism chances are you're a little more likely to naturally be empathetic towards others. The reality for most though is we feel what we feel. It's not pretty, but it's true. True is in right now. Pretty lies are not...

POOR PEOPLE SEEM BRAINWASHED TO LOVE BEING POOR

It seems like there's a sort of attitude, personality, and culture around being poor that keeps those within it from leaving. Those who try to leave it even if to give a better life to their families are "sell outs." Those who accept it to the point of internalizing into their own personality are seen as the soldiers and ladies. Whether this is white hillbillies ripping another man who touched his girl out of their pick up truck or a latina girl deciding to keep the baby even though she's fourteen and already living in poverty, whether its a black drug dealer dating a black drug addict...it seems like there's this love of being a "redneck" "a thug" etc. A minority does believe in the value of an education but it seems on an individual level the there is a lot of pride in being "real" which seems to equte to being disadvantaged and proud of it. How can one ever give their child the gift of safety, higher education, and a life of not having to worry about where the next meal will come with such values? I honestly think at some point wealthy business owners decided to market to the ghettos of America that being poor is awesome as to dissuade them from trying to get of a piece of the pie.

POOR PEOPLE SEEM TO MAKE A LOT OF BAD DECISIONS WHEN IT COMES TO INTERACTING WITH THE RICH

While poor people seem to espouse "street smarts" as the best thing anyone could have...they seem to be tragically unaware of when they're being duped by people richer than themselves. The primary reason for this is that they never seem to question what the motives of the rich person are...as if blinded by the proof of their success that listening to the rich person is a good bet. This contradicts poor people's general mistrust of the rich but when the rich make obvious moves to "try to come off as an everyman who understands their problems" the poor throughout history seem to fall for it! The most logical conclusion i can fathom to understand this is the following: poor people feel inferior to rich people are hate them for it. This is why there's a general dislike of rich people among poor communities to the point of ridicule and treating them like a different spieces that doesn't fit in but at the same time a lot of this dislike comes from the inferiority complex they have where on some level they feel so rejected by the rich and so unequal that coexistence could never happen i e classism works both way.

THEY SEEM ALLERGIC TO CLASS

This sort of relates to point one but it bears repeating that poor people seem to hate fancy restaurants as if everyone in the restaurant is judging them, that the food isn't as good as McDonalds, that the neighborhoods are spooky because there's not music playing so loud it can be heard from the streets, there's not twice as many people as beds, there aren't wild dogs barking from the alleyways. There's just families of four where things are mainly quiet even when the family is watching television. there isn't a lot of noise from the street except during a block party and people are generally respectful of the fact that other people live there in the neighborhood so much so that they keep their laws pristine so as not to be the subject of neighborhood gossip. Poor people are also just embarrassing to bring to nice events as they not only say things that are inappropriate but they seem to believe that anyone

I see what you're doing but I think you're talking more mentality than income. My family started out dirt poor and now we have a bunch of doctors coming out of it going on third generation. We all had good manners and wanted to do things the right way, which paid off. Those of us who didn't get to go to college are self-made. I don't have a degree and I went to Paris twice. No one in my family went country and we are Caucasians.

The thing about these people who stay in their low mentality are not the same kinds of people we are. I agree you can't take these types anywhere and you don't want to be associated with them. Make no mistake, just because I've wondered where my next meal was coming from sometimes, I stay classy.

Have you read hillbilly elegy?

[peachblossomluck]

I don't know what that is.

[peachblossomluck]

We were never hillbillies. We were Natives/Whites from inner cities.

[peachblossomluck]

I don't know anyone who have hillbilly family or anything.

How did you make it past 8 years old? Like, I know why, but I figure that Darwinism still has some relevance in the world today. There is no possible way for me to justify how the hell you somehow didn't choke on a lego or suffocated from sticking cheetos up your nose... it just doesn't add up 😳

[pavlove]

lol I don't know seems to work out for trump seems to work out for him pretty well

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

What? Also, it also helps to be born rich, as well

[pavlove]

lol that's my pet peeve when people say what when they clearly understand what I said

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

As in "what the god given fuck are you talking about?"

[pavlove]

Well at least it's that

There is a lot of truth and reality inside this take where we can find the proof out there. But there is two points:
1. You can not generalize everyone and i hope you did not meant to. People still can be varied. And everyone look at their lives differently.
2. Race has nothing to do with being poor or achieving life qualities.

And your title is a bit furious. Hate is a big word. You can't just hate "all the poor" because this amount of ghetto groups you are pointing at. Thus you should've said "Ghetto instead of the word "Poor" on your title.

Also, you can try to understand their perspectives instead of judging them as well. For instance, they find this mentality that other people are their enemies trying to pick on them, they become defensive and keep isolated because of it. They scare of being judged. And so on.

As someone from a poor, rural, white trash area, I just want to say, this post is absolutely accurate. Practically no one where I lived tried to make anything of their lives. When I was applying for colleges, my principal made a mistake while filling out my Common App because no one else had used it in FOUR YEARS. Also, they drink bad beer, always wear camo, drive needlessly large pickup trucks, and go "mudding."

[frozenhorizon]

lmao @ mudding

[frozenhorizon]

It sounds like what you hate is less about people being poor and more about people who don't do anything with their lives but accept mediocrity. Those people just tend not to be on the wealthy side unless they're lucky.

I don't hate poor people. Their problems are not my problems and I don't interact with them...

[es20490446e]

Reasons seem legit, but the question is why that annoys you that much.

[ikissedtheskyonce]

I was with you until you brought race into it

[pavlove]

Yeah that's where it kind of veered off and I lost the reigns on this one lol
