Opportunity has often been their biggest hurdle. While most are just as smart as you or me, the chances for them to get a "proper" education and out of their situation isn't as easy as it is for an urban dweller.
- bobthepanda 3y agoI never said any of that. But a lot of the anti-intellectual rhetoric today, is also anti-elite and anti-urban.
- asciimov 3y agoYeah that is a complex issue due in part to dems and liberals not having a real presence in rural communities. It's easy to blame the rich and urban when your community is broke and you see all the "help" going to the big rich cities.
- outside1234 3y agoThis is incorrect. Most of the help actually goes to rural areas and "red states" and that money is coming from the richer cities.
