Somehow mom and dad are okay with this.
What advantages would you have?
1. You'd be from a better zip code and employers wouldn't throw out your job application just because it was from a bad zip code.
2. Your parents would have enough money to help you through college.
3. Your parents would have contacts to get you a job. There's nothing like nepotism.
4. Your school would be better because property taxes are higher and school zone can afford better teachers and equipment.
What else?
Actually, you are. I am surrounded by conservatives and you are the first to suggest a safe space for me.I gather from this I am not the first to suggest a safe space for you.
WTF? why do you assume all WHITE families can afford to send their kids to school and have vast business contacts? And why you assume all white people live in good zip codes?
You need to make an amendment to your O.P. and become more factual. try looking up actual facts.
How many millions of poor white people do you think live in the U.S.?
"SOMEHOW MOM AND DAD ARE OK WITH THIS"..... lol... wtf is that supposed to even mean?
Were your parents ok with dropping you on your head when you were born? Is that the explanation for this O.P.??
please advise.
I guess you've never been through Appalachia, but stereotype away and commit the exact sin you undoubtedly accuse others of doing.
Sorry sister, you're a re-run.Actually, you are. I am surrounded by conservatives and you are the first to suggest a safe space for me.
Not that I mind, I'm just curious what your justification is. But I've accepted at this point that you lack one.
Being black with a bad zip code you'd have a much better chance of getting into an elite college.Somehow mom and dad are okay with this.

Horseshit. It begins in elementary school. In Charlotte, the inner city kids get textbooks that are fifteen years old. But those living in First Ward get handed their very own laptop. High Schools are no different. Myer's Park has Latin. Then there is Garinger, mostly black, no Latin, only Spanish, and the conditions are horrendous. As a parent you have no job more important than picking the High School your kids attend. Second, come hell or high water you better have high-speed internet.Utter BS.
Jack can get an education in a lucrative trade, begin earning good dollars right out of class (roughly 18 months), and be making as much as any gender studies graduate (that's right, I said graduate) and will likely be able to pay for college if that is his desire without having to go underwater in debt.
Whereas little Jonny is a fuck up and will remain a fuck up his whole life and will never reach his father's level of success unless he gets his act together.
Either way, equal opportunity exists for everyone in this nation. If someone, regardless of race, fails to take advantage of t that, you can lay blame on that person and maybe their loser of a parent(s).
Why do you keep begging illegals to invade? Are they increasing Johnny's odds?Horseshit. It begins in elementary school. In Charlotte, the inner city kids get textbooks that are fifteen years old.

Look, I was Johnny. My kids were Jack. Among the six there are two doctors, a business owner, a sales rep, a Marine officer, and a disabled individual. Every single one of them, except the disabled one, pays more in taxes than I made in a year when they were growing up. Statistically, the odds of that happening are less than the odds of winning the powerball lottery. And the only reason that happened is because, well I was Johnny. Pop might have cut my sorry ass off, but I knew what it took to raise successful kids A stay at home Mom, good schools, and involved parents, both of us. Something I never had. Equal opportunity does not exist, it is a damn myth, and damn passed time we made it a reality. Because I can promise you, China, India, they do provide equal opportunity. Fuck the trade wars, if we want to stay ahead we had better utilize all the resources we have, our children being first and foremost.
he is about womans body parts.....His stereotyping, tells me he is pretty ignorant about races and racism.
The only color that matters in America is GREEN. There are plenty of poor White parents around. The advantages you list are about the money dude, not skin color.But can't race determine your class status to an extent? Poverty is a bigger burden for blacks than it is for whites.
He didn't mention race at all in the OP.It sounds more like he's saying having white parents guarantees some level of success and opportunity, which is bullshit.

Yea but still. I grew up "poor" but in my neighborhood were foremen at Ford and GM and they could get us jobs at Ford and GM because they knew the plant managers.I think you are seriously underestimating how many poor white people there are.
Many of us whites get our first big break, or our first good break, from a friend or family member. I did. This goes along with the fact that whites have a lot more economic opportunities around them than do blacks.Well gawddamn - so my black neighbors have a different zip code than I do?
Because dey white, and all whites be rich.
Really? I'm going to sue my parents for never getting me a job..
Racist fuck is stupid - but what racist isn't stupid?

We were poor. My dad scraped his way out of poverty. But eventually, his son, my brother, got a masters at MSU and eventually became VP of a fortune 500 company. Interesting story. The day he first got his first big job at Ford, my dad's best man was working at Ford. He heard my brother was working there so he went and showed my brother around and who knows how else he may have helped my brother.WTF? why do you assume all WHITE families can afford to send their kids to school and have vast business contacts? And why you assume all white people live in good zip codes?

A lot of you whites won't admit the help you got along the way because it doesn't jive with your story that you were born in the log cabin you built with your own two hands.
