I don't much feel like arguing with you.
I like you fine but we are not on the same page regarding these topics.
I think an intergenerational ghetto family has a better chance shaking that off by starting over in a different known inner city urban ghetto environment somewhere like Lubbock or Salt Lake or Bozeman etc where such culture does not flourish.
Sorta like Haitian boat people feeling Haiti ...
that is hardly sweeping it under the rug....it's smart to me
I am dealing with evacuees here in Middle Tennessee thru the SBC and I have yet to hear any under 50 from the ghetto who want to go back. They look around Murfreesboro or Franklin and say "damn, I want to start over here!"
who can blame them.
they know no matter how pretty they rebuild the 9th ward or whatever....that given time, their chances are better here.
(not) starting over......

Except they're not Haitian boat people fleeing Haiti. The "truly mired down" will stay "truly mired down" no matter where they relocate. Give them concrete reasons to pull themselves up out of their mired condition, and they might reconsider. They're "truly mired down" because they've been conditioned to think that way by the likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Given an option, they'll rethink their current situation, decide they've had enough and chart a different course in life, whether they're relocated in Bozeman, MT, or Murfreesboro, TN, or going back to NOLA. Many want to stay where they're at, and probably just as many want to go back. Who can blame them?
