Reddit reviews American Babylon: Race and the Struggle for Postwar Oakland (Politics and Society in Modern America (34))

Of course someone from Grosse Pointe has a hard time understanding the facts of structural inequality and the poverty trap. You don't care about poverty, why would you learn how it works?

Do some homework. You can start with this book. Read about structural inequality, poverty, and economic immobility in the U.S. It might help you actually begin to understand how poverty functions.

It isn't your fault you were born privileged, it is your parents'.
