And their better off parents would keep the “good kids” away from the “poor kids.” (The rich kids actually were worse, and they all got away with it. Friends with the prosecutors and judges.) A sort of caste system in America.https://twitter.com/DavidV1836/status/1078854732230377472 …
Rich kids were worse than poor kids. A rich kid started a fight with me. I hit back. His friend jumped out from behind a car and sucker punched me. Back of my head was heard slamming into parking lot. Prosecutor was friends with kids dad. Rich kids get away with anything.
Ambulance took me to the hospital. $1,100 MRI bill. My parents asked states attorney to make the guy who was SEEN by multiple eye witnesses hitting me with brass knuckles pay the bill. The prosecutor was friends with them. “You don’t have a case.” He later became a judge.
That’s why I to this day have a lot of distrust for the rich. I never bought into the conservative lie about how great and virtuous rich people are. BUT. Rich people do create jobs, and that matters. Politically....There isn’t a place for people like us.
Later in life through hard work and a lot of luck - Never trust a “self-made” man or women who dismisses luck I ran in higher circles. Elite even. Seen both sides. This fan fiction about the virtuous rich is eye rolling at best.
What is the answer to poverty? I don’t know. I do know it’s getting worse in the U.S. When I go home I see the empty eyes of strong men. A lack of hope.
What do I mean by luck? When you’re poor, one accident could make a family homeless. There’s no real safety net. Cancer, a bad work accident....The lack of bad luck is as much an accident as catching a big break.
In many ways that’s why I was drawn to John Rawls’ political philosophy. A just society is one that eliminates or mitigates the role “bad luck” plays in our lives. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/justice-bad-luck/ …
Growing up poor takes people in different directions. This is one of the most powerful essays on growing up poor.https://whatever.scalzi.com/2005/09/03/being-poor/ …
Speaking of growing up poor...When I saw that video of a wrestler with deads getting his hair cut, the racial angle....I saw a prick referee. White kids had to cut their hair, too. These are the indignities poor kids of all races face. The lack of power.
Tomorrow I will continue with Part 2, which focuses on solutions and a new path forward.
At my high school, rich kids were nice & kept to themselves. It was kids from the hard knox background u had to becareful around. No disrespect to poor kids as I was a kid from a hard Knox background in grade school. The gang kids had no parents so they could do w/e they wanted.
That does not constitute all “rich” kids.
You can see why poorer people have zero respect for the criminal justice system. The conservatives will insist it's because they are criminals themselves. But they know how the game is rigged. Throw in some sadist cops who use those who are having a difficult time as an outlet
Cops kid tboned a family members car. He was speeding. My sister found 100% at fault. 2 police reports. One for the official files... and one for the courts and lawyers. System is corrupt.
They do. In a way I believe they are wondering how some smile daily with little 2 nothing in their eyes. Heart soul spirit and keep overcoming no matter who tries 2 judge. Jesus and what He thinks of us is ALL that matters.
Look up USC - and the name Stabler. I worked for Sta-Lube Inc. Oil/PetroChemical and none of these people were SNOOTY or uppity especially the President. His kids were the nicest n great people. Worked there for 16 yrs in Administration.. Wow, you are so wrong.
Rich kids do get away with everything. Reinforcing to the poor kid that they are truly inferior. That's a Bully Class I want taught at the Middle Schools.
