What are the major explanations of the connection between race and poverty?

Answer 1

Race itself does not in any way inhibit ones ability to be successful.

To me, it is the sub-culture that dictates the willingness of an individual to work hard and become a success.

If the sub-culture tends toward accepting mediocrity and the feeling of entitlement, the individual must work extra hard to overcome that moral code.

If the sub-culture espouses success as a criterion for inclusion in the group, the individual will be more prone to attempt to achieve self sufficiency over other lures.

Answer 2

Poverty doesn't know race. Poor education, low paying jobs, and crime is the main cause of poverty.
