So... Unless someone has been poor, they're not allowed to talk about poverty? If someone hasn't experienced something, they can't have an opinion on how it should be handled? |
Anywhere in my quote above, do I say someone cannot talk about poverty? Does the word TALK appear ANYWHERE in my quote?
Just because I live in an Orthodox Jewish community doesn't mean I know their plight, hardships or their issues. I can be more aware than you or someone who doesn't live or visit the community about issues that affect them, such as Passover Kosher Coca-Cola which is very different than Kosher Coca-Cola.
