Just goes to show you what a horrific institution slavery and Jim Crow..actually were.
Poverty like wealth is inherited. Two fold if you live in a country that regards skin color as a basis for intellect, ability, integrity and merit.
if poverty can be inherited, so can stupidity and laziness
stupidity (the reckless portion) and laziness are part of a group of behavioural traits called executive function. EF is even more heritable than intelligence.
poverty is just a symptom of low functioning social behaviour except for temporary circumstances like being a student.
I find it funny that behaviours associated with slavery are often accepted as inherited in an unchallenged fashion but traits like intelligence are denied as genetic even with overwhelming supporting evidence.
