This is the economic suicide. Bad choices, generation after generation. Short of going to a new family, this girl's kids have no true chance to break the cycle. Not with that history, not without recognizing this as the abuse on each succeeding generation their family members are inflicting.
I agree. Racism has nothing to do with this one, but poor choices does. People often make such damning decisions so early in life that it is hard to ever rise out of them.
I've long said the only way to solve the problem is to remove kids from the home/environment the minute they are born. We won't do that obviously, but we all know it.

I disagree. Why is it a kid with an ethnic name wont get called back for an interview but a kid with a white name will? I grew up around poverty. I know what its like. There are many more factors then the ones stated in the video....

Ridiculous. Many people with ethnic names (Giovanni, Kowalski, O'Reilley, Pappas, Batischev for examples) get called back for an interview.

The article contradicted itself:
"There is a myth in America: if you have a strong moral compass, work hard and make good choices, you will have equal opportunity. But after two years of listening to and documenting low-income families in rural America (for our forthcoming feature-length documentary “Rich Hill”), we have witnessed a starkly unequal playing field."
Yet they show a family with a weak moral compass that makes terrible choices. Welfare handouts quickly become generational. The fact is that many of our recent ancestors had things much harder but hard work and a strong moral compass paid off.
