jamesthesnake12on Suicides in Rural America Increased More Than 40% in 16 Years

A poor Baltimore black kid with a 1500 SAT is guaranteed admission to multiple ivies - the same is not true of the poor rural white kid. Etc.

Eh not really true, schools really push state diversity , so if you are from the Mountain west or rural area and are decent you have a better chance to get in. But when the issue of gay marriage came up and R's wanted a federal ammendment to ban it in the mid 2000's that wasn't a state issue

and the movement to help rural communities is literally in every politicians platform from subsidies and increased funding ( in no small part due to the EC). BLM had to work their ass off just to get on the Dem Platform.

I'm not saying you supported Trump, I'm saying people who do even if they do it for whatever reason promotes that viewpoint which is the EXACT opposite of empathy for Black People. For all this empathy they have for some odd reason a ton of times they seem to vote for policies that hurt the people they empathize with. And Actions>>>words.

You say they can emphathize with the poor in the city but what policies over the last decades have they ever advocated to help those poor by and large. Most politicians the past few decades have been PICK YOURSELF UP BY YOUR BOOTSTRAPS AND GET A JOB and WELFARE QUEEN. I'm sorry if the people there voted for that by accident, but if they didn't it really didn't show their empathy. I also did not say "That's an entirely self-inflicted problem." that was somebody else. Idk what that has to do about drugs , but when you say "impervious to the cultural impact your environment " do you mean growing up there would've made him afraid of trans people? (I'm not trolling just confused when you crossed over to drugs)

"You clearly have never been to rural America. That is a very ignorant statement. There are many people in rural America that respect all types of people." I think what he means is that legislation banning this drives the discussion rather than vice versa

also for your second graph how does that compare to the south side of chicago and balitmore, will the poor in cities be spared the automation? what solutions have they gotten? How many people from those parts go to good colleges vs rural people?

The Trump Campaign Literally called Black Lives Matter a Terrorist group . Every poltician caters out the ass for rural voters ( see Iowa) .

It's weird how these are problems in cities but they are also hurt by the EC as well!

Would you say the situation is worse than the south side of Chicago? It seems really weird that we ignore problems in cities for decades and then suddenly when people start to move to them they are suddenly the crutch of the rich. What about people forced out of cities due to genterifcation? Not saying rural places don't deserve love but they have been getting fetishzied like crazy lately
