The problems of inferior ghetto cultures are not solved by throwing money at them.
Of course they aren’t. I just don’t think many external factors can help. It’s cultural. Classic Asian example. Poor, abused, unjustly incarcerated Japanese in the 40s, Koreans in the 50s, Vietnamese in the 70s, etc., have done quite a good job of integrating themselves into society as the focus on self-accountability is cultural to their home communities. Aside from gang related activity, Hispanic cultures follow a similar belief though it typically is around work rather than education.
Tons of white and black communities seriously fucked that up. There are white ghettos and there are black ghettos. Each often supplied with plenty of money, health care subsidies, mental health programs, education opportunities, work opportunities, etc. but they continue to be abused and it makes no change because their own community cultures don’t support the idea of “getting out” and improving each other. This Washington Post article is just another example.
