Poverty, White Privilege and Racism

Last post I made my case for why I believe poverty is a sin. I predicted it would shock some and anger others. That was true. The plan was to make this follow up post about why there is nothing spiritual about being poor. But based on some reaction to the last post, I want to detour and explore some issues people raised.
