The same forces that killed #MLK also destroyed the US economy, bombed Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya back to the stone age. African countries see in China the first opportunity since the colonial/post-colonial era to escape from poverty through development. youtube.com/watch?v=K-3d5VNl…

Why are people living in poverty? Could be a variety of reasons. Maybe they were wronged by somebody. Maybe they were irresponsible with their money and life decisions otherwise. Maybe they got sick. Could be a variety of reasons. Are they able-bodied and willing to work now?

Giving to the poor means taking from someone else against their will when it's the govt doing it. Many people resent the govt having such power over their property. Nothing in early American history suggests the govt should have ever been given such a power.
