Good GOD you’re dense. You’re chalking up affluent kids, to “oh they just worked hard and made good choices.” There’s a report from Georgetown University that I will link below, that shows for minorities and those not born of wealth, it doesn’t matter how hard you work, or how talented and smart you are. The biggest main factor in success is family wealth. Privilege…

Your whole idea of “work hard and don’t be lazy” is a fucking cop out so you don’t have to address the actual problem of privilege. Not to mention the massive problems of giving these privileged people the power to incarcerate those less fortunate. OF COURSE THEY WILL USE THAT POWER TO KEEP THEMSELVES ELEVATED, and lock the less fortunate into a cycle of poverty and prison so they can’t replace those in power.

You need a better perspective. Educate yourself with this.
