Obviously, some people born into poverty manage to escape, and bravo to them. That tends to be easier when the constraint is just a low income, as opposed to other pathologies such as alcoholic, drug-addicted or indifferent parents or a neighborhood dominated by gangs (I would argue that the better index of disadvantage for a child is not family income, but how often the child is read to).
Too often wealthy people born on third base blithely criticize the poor for failing to hit home runs. The advantaged sometimes perceive empathy as a sign of muddle-headed weakness, rather than as a marker of civilization.
In effect, we have a class divide on top of a racial divide, creating a vastly uneven playing field, and one of its metrics is educational failure. High school dropouts are five times as likely as college graduates to earn the minimum wage or less, and 16.5 million workers would benefit directly from a raise in the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour.
Yes, these men sometimes make bad choices. But just as wealthy Americans inherit opportunity, working-class men inherit adversity. As a result, they often miss out on three pillars of middle-class life: a job, marriage and a stable family, and seeing their children succeed.
If 'whites' are so superior, what's to fear?
If whites and Africans are so equal...Why the special treatment for Africans(blacks).
-Why be quite about obvious iq difference of Africans..80-85 for Africans compared to 100 for whites. No one else on earth scores this low. Asians come out AHEAD OF WHITES on these test...so it can't be cultural!
-Why AA and special treatment in college and the job market? If we're all equal shouldn't Africans be expected to work hard and earn it like everyone else??? Hell, why pad the sat, act and placement scores for blacks to get into college at all...We're both equal in every way in our heads.Seems kind of unfair to the other kids that work hard.
-Why not crack down on the black community when they're rioting, committing crimes and doing bad shit. Shouldn't we be treating them equal and not turning our backs when they're breaking our laws? Why, tell someone to shut up for being angry about it if we're all equal and shit!
-Why oh'why should we accept their violence and crime....Why'oh'why should we unfairly rig the system in their favor??? IF WE"RE ALL EQUAL? Why can't they stop killing their brothers, looting THEIR stores and all get a goddamn job. Personally, I'd be far more understanding of all this if they weren't equal.
Actually, poor people are typically poor because their parents were poor. It's hard to move from one economic class to another in the U.S. The cards are stacked against you. See appalachia, southern missouri, rural west virginia, etc. If you aren't born into a family that has land and income, starting from nothing is very difficult to transcend, and it's extremely rare for people of any race to do it.
It may well be true that being poor makes it more difficult to be successful in America.Actually, poor people are typically poor because their parents were poor.

And it may well be because poor parents make poor role models. Perhaps life skills should be taught in our schools before we start lowering standards by attacking those who work hard, sacrifice, make good decisions and (gasp!) succeed.

In argumentation theory, an argumentum ad populum (Latin for "appeal to the people") is a fallacious argument that concludes that a proposition is true because many or most people believe it: "If many believe so, it is so."
