>aaaand ... loser gangster culture.
No. You have parents that are not able to attend to pre-school education, whether it's a time or money issue, or even an education issue themselves. And then you have children, let down by parents who were let down by society, who are ashamed of how far behind they are.
The idea that you can further shame people into "shaping up" is farcical. Please stop being part of the problem.
- JabavuAdams 7y agoI appreciate what you're trying to do, but do you have skin in the game or personal experience with these issues?
- bsanr2 7y agoI have family that dealt with these issue, I live in and near communities that are fighting it, and I live a version of it, transposed from the pre-school->school transition to the college->postgrad/working world transition.
- smegma2 7y agoIsn't this exactly what acephal alluded to above? > But this also was a major source of resentment and ostracization that I'm still dealing with to this day. Isn't it possible that resentment and ostracization could lead someone to not want to try as hard to learn?
- bsanr2 7y agoMy contention was the characterization as "loser gangster culture." It's victim-blaming, even if the victim is an angry-seeming young black boy.
