Other races cannot even understand simple values, let alone complicated ones. There are multiple steps and angles to refusing hand-outs.
Accepting a hand-out prevents you from getting better. It isn't just a sign of weakness, it is also a *cause* of weakness.
The interesting thing is that arguably most white people cannot adequately explain *why* they don't accept hand-outs. Most give a trite explanation. But the commonality is that they were *raised* with this perfect value, so it sticks. It doesn't matter if they don't know why. What matters is that they honor this value and pass it along to their children.
