Lack of marketable skills certainly is a chiller in terms of getting a
job. Your pinning the lack of those skills on "lack of a strong family
role model and support" due to "cultural issues," "unwed mother issue,
"Uncle Tom" issue and "ebonics" are overly general and put the cart
before the horse. The root causes are hundreds of years of racism and
poverty.

Latinos have the same issues with education, racism and poverty along
with a language issue but they seem to succeed at a far higher rate.
The difference is a better family structure. When that family
structure fails, they end up in similar circumstances.

Unfortunately the government welfare programs encourage mothers not
having a man in the house since that cuts the amount of assistance
they can receive.

Try suffering under the yolk of racism for many generations. Include
the math that your soul was worth a fraction of a white person's.

Latinos surely suffer from similar circumstances but not nearly the
depth of hatred or disenfranchisement. Race is an easy way for humans
to distinguish between people.

With three days of training, a good practitioner can have you
believing that people with green eyes are the spawn of the devil.

How many years do you think a couple of hundred years of training
takes to undo?

When you strip a person of their dignity, what do they have to work
towards?

That old man from Jacksonville who ran a division of IBM sure had a
lot better education and common sense than ya'll.
