Graduate high school, get a job, wait until age 21 to marry and don't have kids premarriage, and you have only a 2% chance of living in poverty.[/quote]

Love this! With just a bit of tweaking short, snappy, and to the point.  Should be basis of a national advertising campaign.  [/quote]
What an arrogant ignorant directive [/quote]

Yeah, I mean any one of those is super hard, I can't imagine doing all of them together.  Insanity.[/quote]
It is the simplistic, condescending tone, as if just telling them is going to make it happen without any regard for helping to create the circumstances and environment that would help make it possible .[/quote]
We're looking at this from different sides of the coin.  You think we should provide some kind of social service or "environment" to make it conducive for POCs and poors to make good choices.  I think we should pull the rug out so they have no choice but to get off their asses and make good choices themselves or face a shitty future.  Bottom line, that's all that works with the remora class.  If you give them anything they will keep taking and taking and putting in as little effort as possible.  Why should it be everybody else's responsibility to bankroll their poor choices?

WTF???
Most poor people are WORKING POOR!
You and your wrong-headed, not factual ideas of poor welfare queens living off you.
Who the f*** do you think is living the high life off what folks get for SNAP or WIC each month.
Does it make you feel good to believe that garbage?
PLUS, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT KIDS, KIDS, KIDS.
Kids have to be taught about how to make good choices, how to gather, retain, and utilize information. Do you think you are just simply a good person and made outstanding choices because you are innately a "better" person some poor 17 yr old? No, someone taught you, just like they taught me. 
There are a lot of kids out here who are not getting what we got. Their are kids in crumbling schools with teachers who either don't give a damn or don't have what they need to teach the kids the best way possible. There are kids going to school HUNGRY. Study after Study has shown that hungry kids are not learning..too damn busy, I don't know, being hungry!!
And you want to talk about sexually active teens, do you know how many young girls are molested and become sexualized early  and then go on to be sexually active as a way of acting out after being violated.
Yes, we as a society have a responsibility to make sure that we create a fair and just society for all people -- ALL PEOPLE. Not just you.
And for you to talk about people of color and poor people as if they are not people -- FORGET YOU!!!!!!![/quote]

You left out parents.  Most of this is directly the parents' fault.  Again it circles back to people that shouldn't be parents having kids and then like begetting like.  Why are these kids not able to eat nutritious food?  Parents suck.  Why are they not supervised so they get molested by Uncle Johnny (or daddy)?  Parents suck.  Why is there no money to buy clothes?  Parents suck.  There are a shitload of super crappy parents out there that ought not to be parents because a) they suck at it, b) they have no interest in it, c) they can't even get their own shit straight so who do they think they are to have a kid and d) can't afford it in the first place.  A lot of those parents are REPEAT parents which makes the situation even worse.  Maybe we need mandatory sterilization of the remora class after x number of childbirths if the Somalia thing doesn't work out.  Actually, I bet Somalia wouldn't want us dumping these losers over there either so that may not be an option.
