I don't need to see them on tv, I see them well enough on the street...

Yes I am fully aware of the social problems facing American urban areas. Do I know about child prostitution? Yeah, I know a young woman, who while 18 at the time, was being pimped out by the guys she was staying with after she was kicked out of her house. I was personally involved in intervening in the situation, and

I don't believe in using the term ghetto, I live in an area with mostly poor people in it and I wouldn't call it a ghetto.

the government will give you subsidies for housing and you still see people living in slums with 8 kids. Usually it's 3 generations of the family, all having gotten pregnant before the age of 14, the fathers no where to be seen and rife with child abuse. Don't tell me it has nothing to do with their culture.

Based on your comments, it is pretty clear that YOU are culturally deprived. And I have a real hard time believing you know anything about the access poor women have to health care in "ghettos." By the way, did you put the word ghetto in quotes because you don't believe that there are highly segregated urban areas

It has nothing to do with their culture. It has everything to do with the system.

it is false to claim that people who don't have insurance cannot get healthcare

Culture of poverty?!? Uh, no. I don't believe in that racist and classist claptrap.

You do know that the Nazis claimed that they were inspired by the US' eugenics program?

Or, a much more likely scenario is that poor people don't go to the doctor because they don't have insurance, and people of color are disproportionately poor due to systemic racism.. I know you live in Canada, as you said, but surely you understand that poor people in the US don't have many health care options, right?

Its fucked up to suggest that somehow African American women are more likely to die from breast cancer due to their cultural deficiencies, especially considering the blatant socio-economic inequalities that plague black communities. Way to blame the victim.
