re: The Two Parent Privilege

This is the greatest privilege and you can blame LBJ's policies and liberal agendas for fostering the culture of single moms. LBJ is the WORST POTUS in US history based on him being successful in achieving his agenda.

The fact that despite these programs being put in place at the federal, state and local levels, people are still seeing the disparity in outcomes. Also, recall, in the past, I linked you info that showed that impoverished families have access to about $67,000 in benefits just on the federal level. It's not an economic issue because poor 2 parent households have kids who outperform poor single parent households. It is a cultural issue in which people cannot muster the self-discipline required for remaining in a long-tern relationship.

Privilege my arse. Two parent hard work, talk it out, compromise, give and take is what two parent households do.

It is NOT privilege.

I’m not going to even read the original post. Let me guess what’s concluded from subject. Two parents, who have family structure are doing better than single moms? Did I get it right?

Food stamps definitely keep families from starving so how is that not a successful program? It’s purpose is to feed people.

Then why are people still going on about "food insecurity."

What program do you propose for that?

You're obviously part of a program. It's not unique as I'm certain it has similar setups in the other states. Why are people still having issues in your area?

More programs are not the answer. A cultural shift is the answer, but people have liberties in this country that prevent them from being forced to make consistently correct decisions. That's the cost of freedom.

So you’re blaming the people who have been told how dumb they are their whole lives for believing it?

How'd you get there? I'm blaming the people who told them that. The entire anti-self-improvement crowd. In the black community it is "acting white" in the white community its the "you think you're better than me?" crowd.

Who is supposed to spearhead this cultural shift?

Who shapes the culture? Instead of glorifying violence, misogyny, cheap sex, and intoxication, why not put out a healthier message in movies, music, and other media?

in fairness, helping adults who have already been incarcerated get a high school education isn’t very proactive

There are all sorts of GED opportunities out there before prison and some in prison.

BTW, why did you edit out your anecdote? It was a good and hopefully durable outcome.

But I’m sure they were also told the same thing. It’s a whole cycle.

So the person I referenced is black and after sharing that about his parents he went on to tell me how he has a hard time making new friends. He definitely has some mental health challenges. Anyway, he started talking about how black women are basically idiotic for having babies young and sleeping with deadbeat losers. I was really surprised to hear him say that after what he had just shared. I eventually said, “I wonder what kinds of things they were told when they were little girls that they believed too.”

I wish I knew how to solve this. I totally agree with you.

True but there are dramatically fewer since Covid. And also, this guy truly believed he was incapable of learning. He certainly can’t be expected to seek out a GED program. He may even be mandated to get his GED, which is why he’s doing it now, at 30 years old.

You’ve seen how unhinged some posters here are. I don’t anticipate you’ll be following me around from thread to thread to insult me for doing what I do, but I’m sure there are more than a few other posters who would gleefully do just that. I’m very proud of my work. I really feel like it’s a privilege. I don’t want to deal with people shitting on me for doing it.

Someone took the time to write another water is wet book?

I think the best part is that they apparently felt the need to "study" it.

shite. You could have polled your average homeless encampment and gotten over 90% who would have given these geniuses the same insight.
