so your advise is to do exactly what we have been doing for decades.I think quality education for parents and kids makes an enormous difference. I think feeling like you have REAL options that are obtainable makes an enormous difference. I think having the majority of the population not judge you without EVER speaking to you makes an enormous difference. I think giving kids educational options in place of jail time ........
People rarely dig themselves out of poverty or poor parenting because the are too immersed in the problem. They do, but it is rare and profoundly difficult. I am not saying that black Americans are not capable of escaping poverty and building a better life for themselves and their families. I AM saying that more people who are caught in the destructive cycle of poverty, regardless of color, would escape it if given a little real assistance and education.
mmmmk, good luck with that... maybe one day all these decades of doing the same old **** will pay off.
