Well that's stupid. I got shot in the chest so some bitch with a stab wound in the leg better shut his whiny face.

Aside from the fact that it's condescending to assume that someone with a physical disability is necessarily worse off than someone who can't even afford shoes, and that both problems are wildly different, it's silly to think that someone's worse problem makes your problem not suck. A woman from Rwanda who was raped and had her tits cut off is not going to make a woman who was "just" slipped a roofie at a bar feel any better while doing a rape kit.

It's also a convenient excuse to ignore the problems of others when you simply don't want to be bothered.

I was a bit disappoint when Trollheart created this thread. I wanted to start a thread to talk about ethnicity and nationality in a positive way. I always shied away from creating it, always having the fear it would go down in flames a like village being torched by Godzilla.

One of my fav moments on the forum was when that guy with the missing foot got mad at somebody who posted that no shoes/no feet quote.

Lo and behold they're poorer per capita.
Oddly enough I watched a documentary about Section Eight Housing last night, and that backed up your statement, Batlord.

From what I've seen and read, a regular black guy trying to make ends meet or better himself has a much harder time of it:-

in the USA, as Batlord says.
in Britain, by subtler but effective discrimination, in the job market for instance.
in Africa, where standards of living are low and so many of the governments are corrupt or sporadically genocidal.
