Unfortunately, they are too proud to admit their mistakes to themselves or even more so their children. That's how this shit keeps getting kicked down the road rhetorically.
Yeah but if you can’t even sacrifice for the future of your own kids you’re already lost. Admitting you’re wrong is nothing compared to that. People are selfish. They need to suffer to learn why their parents and grandparents sacrificed for them.
Unfortunately, that's the type of mentality that'll loop around and feed the cycle. Once you make a place the single vector of responsibility on the transfer of wealth either directly or through education/rearing, you remove any accountability for yourself. You can't simply place your face solely on the grindstone and expect the dividends to raise your kids for you.
Raising good kids isn't as simple as making sure they live till 18 and giving them your shit when you kick off.
The richest among us have always pushed racism as a way to divide their workers against each other in order to control their labor costs. If racism magically went away, along with the other bigotries peddled to them by the wealthy-funded media, they would realize the only divide that matters in society is wealth/resources, and a teeny tiny percentage of Americans are hoarding almost all of America's wealth/resources for themselves.
