They have a "systemic" culture problem too that only they can fix. There isnt a Govt. program for that though. It has to come from within. There are success stories coming from poorer communities which means it CAN be done. Millions of people from all walks have escaped poverty and while they may not all end up at Harvard, they've done quite well for themselves & didnt use some "fake" merit system to get there. Lifes not fair and wealthy people always have advantages. Its not a race thing either. Rich black people's kids are better off than poor or middle class white kids too. Thats life. Put effort in and sacrifice a bit. Then, you reap the rewards.
This country has more opportunities than anywhere to make something of yourself. Color is irrelevant and only used as a "victim" ploy by politicians.
You sound like a cunt.
I am what I eat. ๐
Remarkable that it only took one reply for the mask to come all the way off.
I hope someday the universe puts you on the receiving end of some equally bigoted bullshit so you get at least a chance at self-awareness.
Relax. Why are you so angry?
Okay, there is so much to unpack here. Poorer communities have a few success stories so they don't need the same support? Rich people will always have it easier so no need to do anything about it? "They" have a culture problem? Sounds like victim blaming to me.
It feels like you are not arguing in good faith so I will withdraw from this discussion.
Arguing in good faith? You mean fanning the flames of the "victim" mentality. Thats fine. You choose to be a victim or take control of your life. Thats it.
