An Interesting Take on BLM

[kandrathe]

So you do in fact agree then that having two supportive parents would be a tremendous help to POC living in poverty? Enough to change an entire sub-culture? So how can that be accomplished? To use your words, this is what I'm trying to show you, and I believe modern statistics show that the status quo model your touting has been proven ineffective at best.

Often two parents means a) more time with a parent learning how to be a productive adult, b) two incomes resulting in a better neighborhood, schools, and standard of living.

Your suggestions of offering even more gracious handouts seem counter-intuitive to me. Placate the poor instead of addressing their core issues? I don't buy it. Positive social reform (i.e. counseling) has been proven to be effective in prisons in countries such as Sweden and Iceland, and world-wide its been proven that a nurturing and loving home make smarter adults for the youths of tomorrow, so I fail to see a downside towards helping this sub-culture of America see themselves in a positive light and fed positive messages.

We don't offer gracious handouts. We provide the minimal amount of sustenance. Gracious would be to offer anyone who's parent(s) are living under the poverty line a free education at the State university.

The problem we have here is cultural identity.

A very interesting read I encourage you to look over. You will see that a persons sub-culture can have vast effects on their beliefs and personality, things as individuals we can chose to ignore or befall to, but as a culture, it is part of us and defines us, and I believe this is the core epidemic of the actual issue here.

Much of what we are socially is "nurture" and less "nature".
