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.

It helps to be born *really fucking smart*. It helps to have a decent education. It helps to have a supportive community.

This isn’t a black problem. It’s a *poor* problem in poor communities. Appalachia isn’t that different from Harlem in this.

Poor begets poor.
