[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot on DCUM (who have generational wealth and are into all the wordsmith theory going on nowadays) don't realize that the old system did work to raise people up from the bottom if you had a strong support system.

I grew up lower middle class.  My parents (yes, I had an involved father) instilled in me a hard work ethic and stressed that only through education would I make more money than them.   I didn't have tutors, but I was in honors, ignored all the others trying to get me to skip school in high school, got good grades and now am part of the upper 10%.  My children have had an easier start than I did.

If there isn't familial support, the equity steps taken won't matter except on paper by bringing people like my children down.   [/quote]

You were privileged to grow up in a 2-parent household.

For some races, 69% of kids are born to unwed mothers:

Yes, and the vast majority of those women made choices that resulted in that situation.  And they then make choices that make that situation permanent.  But unless you support the state taking those kids and putting them in foster care, the mothers have made choices that will impact their children's entire lives, despite the best efforts of schools.  BTW - the statistic showing children in single parent homes by race exactly mirrors academic performance by race.[/quote]

+1.  Poor choices have consequences, especially if it involves having a child.  [/quote]

Funny how the woman is always blamed. [/quote]

Since the woman is the one who is having the baby, and who demands complete control over "her body" and then is usually the one raising the children in single parent households, yeah, she made the choices that got her there.  [/quote]

Misogynistic bullcrap.
