Difference "white poverty" and "everyone else" in poverty:
The cop interviewed speaks protectively about the (white?) poor people there turning to drugs, drink and dreams because they are poor (and brings to mind all those local factories "outprofited" [ I hate the phrase "outsourced"] to some foreign country full of foreign people).
But when blacks and other groups of poor, they seem to be portrayed conversely: They love the drugs and drink too much, so they sit on their butts and sponge off everyone with the welfare checks.
