OK, but what do you suggest - we just write these kids off and never give them a chance?  Sure, having 2 great parents is ideal, but these kids need help.  You can't just say "oh, well - too bad their parents suck"[/quote]

We tried everything. For decades. It didn't work. At some point you have to face reality. [/quote]

and now we have just admitted that our country has a permanent caste system and is NOT egalitarian.[/quote]

No caste system. If you want to rise out of the ghetto, you can. If you want to stay there, you can do that too.[/quote]

you understand nothing about sociology [/quote]

I suggest you don't put too much stock in social science either. The core concepts and ideas are always changing. [/quote]

what about numbers?  Because statistics also show that your "you can get out if you want it bad enough" line is complete bullshit.[/quote]

No one has risen out of the ghetto? I'll give you until morning to dig yourself out of that hole[/quote]

you've just proven that you don't understand statistics at all.

Sure, the one in a million person can get out of the ghetto.  But the odds are HEAVILY stacked against this scenario.  Even when these kids do EVERYTHING right, it is very hard to climb up the ladder.

The Post did several articles not too long ago on this.  Look it up.[/quote]
