how do you end poverty in a culture which is anti-intellectual/academia and education in general.
The worst American schools are better than schools they have in 3rd world countries.
shyt is no excuse. We have people who have made it their life goal not to amount to shyt in life but engage and destructive behavior.
You're right that there is no excuse..
however there are reasons for generational ignorance. You'd have to understand the psychology of poverty to know why. Plus there is some unique history in America..... It's foolish to compare one nation and it's people --- to other random areas with different histories and lingering affects.
Sometimes we foolishly look at these random African and Asian immigrants and say..........look at this person blah blah. We ignore the billions of people nearly identical to that one person who was left behind who isn't shyt, isn't trying to be shyt , and never will be shyt. Then we take the best from those billions and compare it to the worst of us. That's some self defeating shyt.
And FYI- most black youth and black people aren't anti-intellectual so that isn't the reason for the poverty. That's a myth. CACS and others aren't any more "intellectual" or motivated in school.
