OK, let's agree with your POV here. But it doesn't explain similar intra-community responses (or lack thereof) to things like single parent homes, STDs, education, violent crime, financial literacy, actual literacy, homelessness, mental health....I could probably list 40-50 more things fairly easily.
I do like my sexy Indian dude friends theory. It is pretty logical.

Poverty is a response to pretty much all of these. Inter-generational, culturally-engrained poverty especially. It's not specific to burger ๐s either, the historically impoverished communities share the same exact problems worldwide. Propensity towards all these things is so obviously and directly related to parents' income, that any other explanation is secondary at best.
The only solution is socialism!

I thought you told me you weren't a Marxist...

I got banned for this comment chain by some seething bagholder, so I'll only answer this one here, the rest of you ๐s have lost the right to my attention![:marseysmug: :marseysmug:](/e/marseysmug.webp)
What?!? I would never say that. I've been a Marxist consistently for almost the entirety of my adult life.

It looks like you fricking tards wipe #friendly on a daily basis so I can't pull it up, but I distinctly remember you saying that you aren't a Marxist but you've studied Marxism. Or something along those lines.

That was like two days ago, and it was
@Dad, you r-slur. I am a bona-fide Marxist-Leninist, as you can tell by my pfp, profile, flair, and post history (here and on reddit).
Idk, it made someone really mad, so I'm guessing they have some personal stake in it? I doubt anyone is really that concerned about the dividends of anonymous multi-millionaire boomers if they have nothing to gain from it...

You and I were having the conversation. Did he interject with that comment? I guess the purple jannie names blended together for me.
That's what I had thought so when I read that, I took it as you having a passion for the subject but larping as a True Believer.

Yeah, I told you that we can have this conversation on the site, because I find talking about socialism in chat format was r-slurred and pointless. He said that he'd be willing to talk to you about it in chat format, and that he studied Marxism. It definitely blended in for you, we're two separate people.

Yeah, I remember you saying that. There was a lot of other chatter going on.

I really wish I could agree with you regarding root cause, my friend. I hate the way I feel about this, but much like certain religious tenants I simply don't possess the ability to suspend or conveniently parse my deductive reasoning here.
But if I truly thought this is what it would take....
Life is messy despite what reddit says

Of course life is messy. But in this case you can clearly see that by far the strongest correlation between the rates of all the things you mentioned is social class, or, more obviously - income. If social class has a historical ethnic component to it - then it becomes tied to an ethnicity, too, though it is nowhere near permanent and can easily be reversed.
Let me give you an example - there was an institutional, legalised discrimination against Jews in the Russian Empire. As a result of it (at least partially) - they were the majority of the underclass on the western fringes (the only places they were allowed to live) and were criminal as shit, to the point that to this day a lot of criminal jargon in Russian has Jewish roots. And that's Jews, a group that always had a massive, extremely rich merchant class and propensity towards helping each other on ethnoreligious basis. With less organised groups, it's nowhere near as easy or as quick to escape intergenerational poverty.

Interesting example. I'm vaguely aware but am going to read more about this.
Here's the thing - I just see black communities around the world and there's an unbroken theme across time and space. In Africa the issues are either ignored for political reasons by the west or blamed on colonialism. Apologists say the issues are complex, but in the next breath provide simple root causes.
I appreciate your really solid example. It is quite lock solid on the surface. Oy vey! ๐

the culture may be the result of intergenerational poverty. but the culture IS why they can't get out of poverty like other ethnic groups get out of poverty.
