    It is the reality of numbers.

    Around 42,000 of the 4.5 million white South Africans are thought to live in poverty, which equates to 0.9 per cent. But 63.2 percent of the country's 43 million black South Africans also live in poverty and around 37 per cent of 'coloureds' - people of mixed race.

      Poor living conditions allows to most people to live only to their 40s.

      In the USA 20.5 million "white" people and 8.58 million "black" people live in poverty. It isn't that one group of people is treating another group worse (although there is a tribal thing going on in Africa). Poverty is a trap. If you have a bucket of crabs, you can leave it uncovered because the crabs cannot escape. Once one crab almost escapes, the rest pull it back. The lady who had her store robbed the other day is a good example. She was succeeding and thieves wanted what she had.
