Subject: RE: BS: Education, Race 'n Community...
I see Bobert and others telling poor people that the odds are against them. Things are "fixed" so they will never get ahead. Exxon is robbing them. They will never be able to break out of poverty. Rich people stole the money they should have etc.

Just a bunch of horseshit. People are not born stupid, they are raised stupid and told they are disadvantaged ubtil they start to actually believe they can never get ahead.

All they need is an education and to be told they can succeed if they apply themselves.

No doubt Bobert will tell me I am wrong and stupid just like he would tell a poor person who thinks they can succeed.
