To be fair, he didn't say that. The quote was, "If you're white, then you don't know what it's like to live in a ghetto".
Yeah, there's some bad implications with that. There are definitely white people that have lived in ghettos, after all. But I think what he's saying is that being white and poor isn't necessarily the same thing as being a descendant of a family that's been in the ghetto for generations. He's not saying that white people don't understand poverty.
