I used both very frequently. Sad times indeed. LOL

What makes me laugh is that instead of looking at why people end up staying where they are in the social classes we automatically attribute a racial component glancing over the countless cases where other races end up in the same boat generation after generation.
My parents were poor when they were growing up, they were poor in my early years. Nobody attributed our whiteness as the reason or excuse.
There are people that quite literally embrace being poor. They embrace the lifestyle, generation after generation is making that an acceptable life. I graduated with a chick that in our mid thirties was ecstatic she was a grandmother and her daughter got promoted to “drive thru attendant”.
Meanwhile, my parents, when I was frowning up, drilled it into my head that jobs like that were no way to support a family. That if I wanted a family I needed to be able to provide a good life.
The issue is mindset first.
Joe Biden has sniffed here.
I’m not understanding why you put “yes” on so many applications if it just perpetuates the problem.Its a beautiful thing really. Feeling like a "victim" (whether they are actually a victim or just a victim in their own mind) is the exact opposite feeling of empowerment. By being "given" something because a group is perceived as victims, it further oppresses them. Its rather simple. Its part of what experts call the "psychology of oppression." All of this is well and good because it will just make it easier for my kids to get ahead in life. The competition is being neutered and it will be easier for my kids to climb the mountain.
Side note...I sit on a committee that reviews scholarship applications (college students) and I just finished reviewing nearly 200 applications last week. When asked the question about why they deserve scholarship money, 90% of the applicants played up how hard they have had it in life and played the "victim." I rated every single applicant as a "definite yes" for scholarship money who fell in the other 10% who actually wrote what they have done to earn the scholarship. It was incredible to read the 90% who had "sob stories" etc. Yeah, life is hard, but the question is what have you done to earn it, not why do you deserve it. It made me disgruntled. LOL
It will never happen because it's far to hard now days to take responsibility for one's own actions. Being a victim and blaming everyone else or "The System" is far easier and requires little to no logical thought process.
Well done sir! Well done!Your first paragraph is a MASSIVE question that unfortunately will never be answered in this day and age.

Just for context I am genuinely speaking from the experience of watching my own father blame everyone and everything for his lack of success. He's even gone as far as blaming having to raise me. He completely ignores his past drug use, alcohol addiction and terrible behavior, again not his fault.
Because of him I actually grew up very poor. So poor I went an entire year with 2 pairs of pants to my name and was gluing my shoes together.
I realized about 5 years ago I got to where I am in life with a little of what he taught me and a lot of watching what NOT to do and refusing to quit or look for excuses to say I can't do something.
I myself made some at the time bad decisions early in life that, in an odd way turned out to be for the best. I however never blamed anyone nor said I am "here" because someone or some thing did this to me, I knew I was responsible.
I allowed my mother to talk me into joining the Army at 19 and while I 100% regret my second enlistment it jump started my life.
After serving and using my G.I. bill for some specific classes and certificates I now have a family of my own, 6 figure income, retirement, mortgage and nice cars to drive.
I take great pride in the fact that I can provide for my wife and children and don't live paycheck to paycheck. I literally had a massive smile my face the other night because my oldest learned what a landlord is not because we were being evicted like I did.
What I am getting at is had I bought into my father's BS I would have went down that exact same road you have described because it's easier and it's what he mostly taught me.
I am not entirely sure why I didn't listen to him or why I chose a different path though. I am glad it worked out and if I could figure out how to get poor kids that maintain an impoverished mentality to do the same in mass I would.

Would you say you're a bit of a race-ist?
Ahh yes, Oakland. One of California’s gem city.

There’s an aerial tram and these parasites have huge camps all along but directly underneath the tramway.

Oakland charity backs city's plan to give non-white families $500 checks: "Way past time"
Evanston is the first U.S. city to issue slavery reparations. Experts say it's a noble start.
California's fall is truly shocking. I rented an airbnb in a nice area of L.A. for work. There was human poop all over the sidewalks with furniture, sofas, and mattresses strewn all over sidewalks. It turns out people sleep there at night. Outside of our place was a lazy boy, sofa, mattress, and an end table. The homeless furnished makeshift apartments on the sidewalk. These weren't indigents either, they were normal people that left for work in the morning in a suit and tie.You wouldn’t believe it until you see it.
