re: #122 Surreptitious Stealth Troll

My point is that there exists a cycle where poor families are unable to help their kids so the kids end up like the parents and the well off are likely well off because of the system working in their favour. There are a lot of corollaries to being poor that include increased probability of addictions, alcoholism, crime, violence all of which are self perpetuating.

How a parent parents, how a family supports the children are directly tied to where they start, which while not determined by systemic biases, they certainly are directed by those biases.

It takes far more effort for a NA aboriginal to become a top earner than it does the average white male.

Let’s say we accept that becoming a “top earner” is the ideal. There’s no doubt that a NA aboriginal would have a more difficult time statistically in becoming a top earner. How do we propose fixing this? Do we fix it by telling white people that they’re privileged? That’s the answer? Or is the answer education, outreach, opportunity, a reformed judicial system, scholarships, mentoring, etc? To help them form an education foundation to make better lives for themselves and their families.
