[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Social scientist here. The thing is, parents in low SES communities [b]are giving their kids the tools to succeed in THEIR communities[/b]. They have different definitions of success and what it means to live a good life, even if these definitions perpetuate poverty and underachievement and ill health, etc. I recommend the book "Random Family" if anyone wants to get a deeper understanding of the structural and individual factors that keep people mired in self-defeating behavior patterns in low-income urban communities. [/quote] Well, that does not appear to be working. Otherwise, there would not be so many killings.[/quote] No, that's a counterfactual. The question is, if the parents in the poor black urban communities were not giving their kids the tools to succeed in THEIR communities, then what would happen? You don't know the answer to that question. You can't know the answer to that question.[/quote]
