Margaret Wente: These ‘poor’ black kids in Toronto have more nice sh*t than we do

July 18, 2012 By Kathy Shaidle

OK, I’m paraphrasing…

We have a million euphemisms for what’s gone wrong in our so-called “priority” neighbourhoods, a splendidly euphemistic term that has replaced “at-risk,” “disadvantaged,” “underprivileged” and “poor.”

By now, it should be obvious that material poverty is not the problem – not when every kid in a priority neighbourhood has a cellphone and a flat-screen TV.

Read the newspaper upside down.

Well over 700 comments so far.

Will they be deleted, as they have been at other Canadian newspapers this week?
