Why does there seem to be a stigma attached to advocate for Men's Rights?

Your hypothetical scenario disproves that racism is a strong element of what keeps people poor. Good job my dude. *pats back and hands cookie*

racisms in the sense that we are discussing keeps you poor it doesn't make you poor.

being poor in the first place also keeps you poor more or less.

It can depending on how you view it. For example, being a victim of institutional racism within the justice system can make you poor because of the financial and social roadblocks of the lifestyle that we think it's okay to condemn discharged felons to for some reason (if you make it out alive, that is).

well i mean the war on drugs and the prison system in general is a big issue here but obviously the topic is a lot more relevant in low income areas which sticks to my point about keeping you poor rather than making you poor.
