That is a woefully igorant statement.
Urban poor and rural poor are entirely different beasts with vastly contrasting cultural and environmental factors. For pete's sake, Chone brought his mom and dad along to Seattle to sign. Whereas MB's dad named him after himself without telling his wife.
The Streets of LA and, really, Florida are different beasts. Assuming that they have 'things to get along about' because they were poor and black is like saying Japanese and Koreans are the same.
