Big White Ghetto


What does the average coal miner make (wages per hour)? $25 an hour

 

Who are some types of people a person might find in the big, “White Ghetto.”         

Drunks, drug dealers, rapists, homeless, jobless, and others that are trying to get out

Why do you think the author calls it the “Big White Ghetto?”

Population is predominantly Caucasian and it’s kind of a bad place to be with a lot of poverty and such

What does the author suggests “keeps the underclass in place?”

Welfare and how easy it is to receive money from the government

The author suggests that “poverty is the natural condition of the human animal.”

How does Pepsi play into this?

People used their product for their own kind of currency to buy other things like cigarettes

  1. Parents can pull their kids out of school and receive a Social Security Check
  2. People use Pepsi as currency
  3. Some woman sell their body for $12.99
  4. The average coal miner makes $25 an hour
