“Where are they oppressed and who oppresses them?”
Inner cities by dimoKKKRATS.
Like GWB said. The soft bigotry of low expectations... and this is especially bad when it gets to the expectation of being low!
People often tend to live up to what we expect out of them.
Poor people of any color wanting work need to follow the two big rules of being employed.
#1 Move to where the work is, it will not crawl up and knock on your project door with offers.
#2 Show up every day for the job and do your best.
There is no oppression if anyone tries to do the two rules above. There is no oppression unless you were kidnapped here and are locked in a basement making Apple products.
