Racism dictates that a particular race be held down and kept unable to succeed.
The following generations of those who were held down by an oppresive society seldom gain at the rate of the oppressor society.
opportunity does not knock on every door, and even if you wish to argue that point, even when it does knock those who are the generational off spring of those who were oppressed is much less likely to understand the purpose of it.
It's a learned response not a genetic one.
We have had at least one full generation without "oppression," as you call it. At the rate hoodrats and hillbillys and reproduce, two or three full generations free of any real force holding them back. The only thing holding these people back is EACH OTHER.
I have already written tomes on here regarding generational poverty. The information is out there, free, for anybody to possess and learn from if they are so inclined. I took advantage of it because of my profession. If I were poor, I would also have an interest in how I could better myself and un-fuck my attitude and situation.
If you are a slave, others can control you. If you are an American, you have NO FUCKING EXCUSE not to do better. NONE. I chose not to stay in the gutter after a difficult life situation. Other people choose to stay down. There was no outside control, just the strength of my character and the desire to do right by my children.
People who raise their children in hovels and let them throw away their education should have their asses beat. They have ruined another generation if they do so.
There is no real excuse. If you knew what I do for a living, Dick, you would realize I know this FOR A FACT. The difference is inside all of us. If you raise your kids to be entitled, whining, blaming, pathetic citizens, that is what you will get. If you raise your kids to not make excuses and to always do their best, you can rest easily when they leave the nest.
I raised my kids myself. They are funny, contributing, decent, kind people. They don't expect a handout or to get goods or services they didn't earn. They have never had to supply a food stamp, free lunch number, or Medicare card in their lives. Because I bothered to stand up and work my ass off, I have ensured my grandchildren will also have a decent life. THAT is how it works. One generation at a time. One weak link can be fixed, generations of lameness and fuck-upness is harder to overcome. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
People with excuses are just that; people with excuses. I know better.
