[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Redlining. Food deserts. Segregation.

Educate yourself. [/quote]

Haven’t existed in most of our life times; WIC, SNAP, school lunches, food pantries; people choosing to live in affordable housing in an expensive area or as part of an immigrant community with shared language or with long-standing community (see gentrification arguments).

None of these things are determinative of your life.  Ask the millions of people now living who have moved up the SES ladder.   If you want to improve social mobility, vote for and insist on functional government that provides law and order and schools with real expectations and discipline.  Include vocational education.  Eliminating objective measures of educational achievement and lowering overall behavioral expectations for kids, while also eliminating the negatives of poverty will leave the people you say you care about in a terrible way that has nothing to do with racism.

Even the poorest US citizens are “blessed.”[/quote]
