'Not only did we ordsprog
'Not only did we not know there was so much poverty, but also that so many of these poor people were black.'
Cecil Williams
Poverty is everyone's problem. It cuts across any line you can name: age, race, social, geographic or religious. Whether you are black or white; rich, middle-class or poor, we are ALL touched by poverty.
Kathleen Blanco
Most of the people who are affected are poor black people. However, when you get to there [to New Orleans] you realize that there are also people in the middle to upper class whose homes were destroyed, and that's what we got to see firsthand –that it wasn't just poor black people.

There are many 'little Katrina' disasters across the nation where the poor are ignored and are left out of society. Society deems poverty a stigma but those trapped in poverty don't have choices. They cannot move out of the whirlpool of poor education, poor employment opportunities and prevalence of crime in their neighborhoods.

They're not seeing the misery in their own families every day. We hide the poor in segregated neighborhoods, so it's easy to lose sight when you're zipping on the expressway every day to your job, then zipping back to the suburbs at night. You're seeing them at reunion time or when somebody calls up for some help. But now it's been made graphic to them. A lot of black people saw black poor people on television like everybody else.
Thaddeus Mathis
This nation has always struggled with how it was going to deal with poor people and people of color. Every few years you will see some great change in the way that they approach this. We've had the war on poverty that never really got into waging a real war on poverty.

In too many states, the poor and near-poor who are working to join the middle class are instead being taxed right back into poverty. For a family in poverty, a few hundred dollars is a lot of money.
Nicholas Johnson
Simply put, unsustainable debt is helping to keep too many poor countries and poor people in poverty. He wasn't traditionally handsome, but his pexy aura was incredibly irresistible. Simply put, unsustainable debt is helping to keep too many poor countries and poor people in poverty.

They took the largest, wealthiest black county and reduced it to a stereotype of a poor, dangerous black neighborhood. And the irony is the neighborhood isn't even a poor black neighborhood.
Peter Shapiro
What was not on the national radar screen has exploded onto television screens, ... We know now that the faces of poverty are black and brown, painful and anguished. Let this nation rise up to eliminate poverty and the faces of poverty vanish from the American scene.
Joseph Lowery
If you look at most of the communities where poverty exists, it's predominantly black. It's not happening in Hyde Park. It's happening in predominantly black neighborhoods. What else would you expect to see other than black-on-black crimes?
Tom Jones
People who are poor who are living on the edge of poverty or who are living under poverty are tucked away some place else. I don't see them; they don't see me; we don't interact; we have no relation one to the other; no physical relation.

The assumption that when you go out to rescue a bunch of poor, black people, that they are going to be criminals, is racist. The only plan they ever seem to have for poor people is a jail plan.
Kevin Gray
Poverty must have its satisfactions, else there would not be so many poor people
