Let us stop blaming the innocent youth who are born into poverty. They truly did not ask to be born into their current circumstances. Yet, we as humans want to continue to judge those who had no say so for their current conditions. Generational poverty and ignorance is real, and until you know the plight of others you need not be judgmental and condemn them based on their race or socioeconomic status. Educate yourself, so you will not be void of the knowledge that sets people up for failure due to ongoing poverty. The brain is wired to grow and without the proper conditions and teachings it will fail to produce its greatness for the good of the individual and society overall. Now, their are many that have resiliency and have fared well, but unfortunately many do not have this attribute. Stop blaming race on these youth and start doing something in the community to change it.

We can do something in the community to change their race? That's news to me. Maybe we should change it to a marathon.

"Poverty" is not the cause. Parental indifference is the cause. Libraries are free. If you want your child to learn, you need to take an early, active role teaching.

The first 5 years are the most important.

You can give them all the money in the world but that won't help if they don't act like parents should.

Poverty is not the cause, but stupidity is.

It doesnt take money to be involved. It just so happens however people with money tend to be more involved. Yes, the blame is retained.
