Why there is poverty and inequality in nations (UK, USA) of plenty?

People are lazy. End of story

Case in point, the unemployment rate for black males 20-24 in Baltimore is 37% according to a quick google search

Right now there is critical shortage of over the road truck drivers, just as one example. In 3-6 months of training, often company paid, one could be on the way to an above average paying career requiring very little education or special skills

Some communities have a culture that makes them fail. Every group, every where that relies on government support perpetuates their failure. In this country that's right out of the progressive playbook.

Anyone who can't pull themselves out of poverty in this job market is lazy as fuck, mentally ill, disabled or some combination of these.

The system is designed to keep people down. Anyone saying you can make it out if you just try is a delusional moron. Like someone who thinks they're special coz hookers take their money.

Societies based on privilege are get that privilege by creating disadvantage for the masses.

Who created those communities and cultures in nations (UK, USA) of plenty?

There is poverty amidst plenty because we have an economic system which is always locking out more and more people. It has been broken since the 1870's and minority groups facing discrimination need to adopt the tactics of the Irish Republican Army.

Happy Juneteenth.

Tetradon, you better get your head out of the toilet before you drown.

And you sound like a drinking alcoholic.

^ As opposed to a non drinking alcoholic?

That's what you sound like Tetradon, like a real fucking jackass who get loaded up.

I was dirt poor and I made it out. It's all about hard work and perseverance. Right now companies are so desperate that they are offering to pay to train people in electrical work, truck driving and a variety of other skilled blue collar positions. If you are poor and can't improve you're life right now, nothing anyone can do will ever help you.

No one works harder than our nation's poor.

The Horatio Alger Myth is what keeps people complaint.

And racial minority groups that are facing systemic denigration need to organize and act, and this must include lethal terrorism.

Lack of taxes on excessive wealth.

^ agreed!

If we want our economy to work we need to have the money circulating, not fueling the real estate and securities Ponzi Scheme.

Everybody is right and some people are not so right. There's a mix of laziness concentrated effort of destruction, redlining, lack of resources etc.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." -Lyndon B Johnson

"The land flourished because it was fed from so many sources--because it was nourished by so many cultures and traditions and peoples." - Lyndon B. Johnson at the Statue of Liberty, 10/03/1965

There is a cultural divide between the working and the non-working. Those who work, can and generally do improve their lot in life. Those who do not, or cannot work usually become wards of the state, generally for the worst. For the sake of those who cannot work, there needs to be a safety net. For the others, they need to get a clue and find a job.

CJ those fucked up communities came here from shithole countries.

Who, in these countries of plenty (USA and UK) actively sought to attract those immigrants and why?

The left sought to attract these people because this is the mantra of the Democratic party: Democracy is a form of Government that cannot long survive, for as soon as the people learn they have a voice in the fiscal policies of Government, they will move to vote themselves all the money in the treasury and bankrupt the nation. Karl Marx telling us about build back better; the third unnecessary stimulus check; student loan forgiveness; illegals rampaging through the land; and on and on. I look at the faces of the Democratic Party and I see fucking foreigners; poor fucking foreigners.
