EtH's Rant like 6 or something: The White Man Keeping You Down?

Sounding more American than your American accent, that's for sure.



Your social context has a huge influence on your opportunities. Race WILL influence your job opportunities, your education opportunities, ect. Social-economic status definitely has a powerful impact on your opportunities as well, possibly more important than race but there's quite a few studies that show race, independent of SES will negatively impact your opportunities.

It may not be an excuse, but sometimes your viable options go out the window, there's only so many people that can make it out. The REAL problem? How shitty our business and political systems are set up to fuck the poor into being poorer and empower the rich to get richer. Especially when you realize in developed countries we're capable of providing enough resources to everyone to have a decent standard of living if we would just redistribute wealth better.

But you know.....Capitalism is the best woo go capitalism. Fuck equality. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps even if you can't afford shoes. Takes money to make money. The poor and the rich are morally bankrupt. We are all middle class. Socialism is the devil but medicare and social security are awesome.
