White people's lives are generally better because life is a little easier when you have money and a job.
Well here's where it get's interesting because you'd think dealing with poverty, racism, crumbling schools and dilapidated housing, which is common for black people would be pretty stressful.
Yet, all data indicates it's whites and those with money who are more likely to drink alcohol, use drugs, or smoke cigarettes.
So what’s going on ?
It must the lack of coping skills among white people.
Those who face oppressive conditions must, as a matter of survival, learn to deal with these conditions from an early age, where as because white people (As a group) have been pampered and provided for they don’t learn the same lessons because they never have to
If their grades drop, they pay for tutors;
if they wreck their car, they get it fixed or get another one;
When white screw up, someone is usually there to bail them out.
But all that fks them ups.
Not to romanticize oppression, of course, but what studies show is that the folks whites have been taught to fear and loathe often have more self-control than those in your own families.
So blacks are more likely than whites to report having been offered drugs in the past month, we are less likely to actually use drugs than their whites.
Black people are also less likely to drink than whites. Despite targeted liquor and tobacco advertising in poor black communities.
Black people are less likely to commit suicide, as suicide is linked more to having one’s previously high status threatened than to absolute hardship. Too much money, too much power, and a mentality of entitlement and expectation that can leave a person dangerously ill-equipped to deal with the real world.
None of this is to say that I should now pity the whites, but if your going truthfully analyze what is wrong with the culture, u should begin with the folks at the top, as the old saying goes, the fish tends to rot from the head down.
