err.. ok lemme break it down for you...

lucky to have one meal a day, and it was never anything good... to my grandma a meal was any type fo food... so once a day i might get a burger, or be served pinto beans... tv dinner, pot pie..... it was never enough to be nutriotional and never enough to take away the nauseating hunger...

clothes: never naything that fit and as a matter of fact, my grandma would only make sure i had a 'weeks' worth the shirts (7 days) prollly even less pairs of underwear, and like 2 pairs of pants and 2 pairs of shorts... wearing the same shoes (never name brand btw) til they were falling apart... and socks were but aluxury...

doctors/medicine? shit, i hate to steal some comedians shit, but it's literal... only changed a bit.... "nyquil better cure whatever you have" (instead of robo tussin) dentists? or any other 'health' professional? welll i'm 21 and have no teeth in my mouth, take your guess at how that urned out...

bills? shit... you know how they say 'blacks' won't pay attention to bills until they get the pink notices? to my grandparents that's nothing.... id' go months wihtout water/gas/ w/e... ever taken a bath by heating up water on a stove (we did it on a propane stove at that)? you get about an inch deep of water if you're lucky, cuz after that th ewater will just start cooling down again.

living conditions? don't even get me started... the house i live in now, half the walls around ht ebathtub are eaten away by termites, less than 50% of the house has windows (boards/tarp/even cardboard has been usd to fill in those spaces) we just had to lay down a 3/4 inch thick sheet of plywood down in the kitchen becuase the floor was about ot fall through, and about a year or so ago our toilet was a damn 48 qt or so cooler with a toilet seat just balancing over it cuz our toilet got cracked and had to be replaced... bfore that the floor around it was falling in and just sitting on it threatened to send you through the floor...

you think cuz i'm white i had some easy ass 'perfect' life? get real... i had it worse then most 'ghetto' kids had it..

poverty is colorblind...true...i was brought up similar. i just got sick of having smelly ass l.a. gear shoes and nut hugger jeans. so i went out and hustled...not robbed but hustled. to buy deoderant , food , pay for sports in school. well and a gold chain and a cool as mongoose bike with pegs...but hey it was 92
