African american Quote by J. D. Vance
“For complicated historical and political reasons, we associate 'poor' in our public consciousness with 'black.' Terms such as 'welfare queen' and 'culture of poverty' became associated uniquely with the social maladies of African Americans in urban ghettos, despite the fact that poor whites outnumbered poor blacks.”
![“Poor is the new black. So on this film [The Land], there are poor black people, but there are also poor Latinos, and poor white people as well.” quote by Steven Caple Jr](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/c94/steven-caple-jr-49791_black_poor-is-the-new-black-so-on-this-film-th_1342493.jpg)
