antisocialbutterfly Think there ought to be a lot less generalized "shaming" than goes on today. Unless the person is actually doing something that's actually wrong .. its a bit of a load of crap to shame them. Especially with regard to something like marital status.
We are not all born to the same situation, that comes with some differences in people's experiences. A white person with money is no more inherently bad than a person of color who is poor is inherently good or hindered from rising above their circumstances. Societal imbalances are not appropriate to foist one's jealousy and desire for change on specific individuals as if they personally are to blame.
For instance three of the smartest people I ever met were poor people of color. Their parents raised them to value an education, helped them excel in school and pursue scholarships. Now, 30+ yrs later, they are among the most successful people I went to college with. Some of my sons friends are from similar circumstances and also attending college on academic scholarships. It can be done if the right priorities are leading the lives of the parents and kids involved.
