Who does Patricia Hyjer Dyk think she is

ok this is going to be fun. I started to read "complexity of Family Life among the Low-Income and Working Poor" by Patricia Hyjer Dyk, and had to put the book down 3 pages in, because I simply felt terrible. Reading her bash on people who have to work for a living really made me sick. "Those of you who started the day......This would not be the beginning of a typical day for most low-income and working-poor families" who the hell gives her the right to say we are better then the working poor because we see our kids in the morning before work/school. I had to put the book down when she said in black and white "Low-income and working-poor families are different from middle and upper-income families".

Dyk uses too many big words and statistics to hide behind her opinion that people are different based on their income and living conditions. "Findings from their three waves of in-depth interviews with single Black women revealed vulnerability to numerous persistent barriers to self-sufficiency and that their well-being rests largely within their support networks"? She might as well of said "EVERY SINGLE black woman comes from a broken family and is a single parent because her baby's father left, and will be forever emotionally scared and held down because she can not afford to live in a nice house and current racism will not allow her to get a job".

Now I am in no ways at all a racist nor I support what Dyk is writing about. I am a college student who is being taught to read between the lines, and the only thing I am getting from this article is a load of racist bullshit coming from a woman who thinks she is better then everyone because she lives in a mansion.
