It’s a cycle. Bill Cosby was from a poor family. He broke the cycle.
The question is: How can you break the cycle? Not everyone has the enormous talent and drive of a Bill Cosby.
Culture.
When the culture of success overcomes the culture giving up (and that’s a big part of ‘it’s not my fault’) the cycle is broken.
That’s why so many parents in poor neighborhoods try so hard to get their kids into private schools. They are desperate their kids succeed.
