The thing with generational wealth is that it& #39;s not just the cash you inherit.

It& #39;s the ability to have a co-signer.
It& #39;s passively building your credit when you& #39;re still a child.
It& #39;s the financial knowledge your guardians teach you.
It& #39;s multi-generational connections.

The brilliance of the capitalist system is it& #39;s built to exclude people on a *systems level.*

They can claim equal opportunity for good PR. They don& #39;t need to discriminate against you individually because the system does it for them effectively on a much larger scale.

People without generational wealth privilege are blamed for not overcoming the system. (The few who do, often resort to survivor& #39;s guilt and bias and victim blaming).

I& #39;m never going to stop talking about it because I want to leave this place better than I found it.
I& #39;ve faced some really fucked systems these past few months and been afraid to talk about it because I know it puts me at risk.

But this problem extends beyond me and all my relative privileges. It is so much worst for so many other people. I won& #39;t stay mad. I& #39;ll stay fighting.
