“Capitalism structurally oppresses, restricts and inhibits the access of marginalized individuals, minority communities, and differently-abled persons by regulating the opportunities available to them.” This was the most powerful statement in my opinion in the entire reading for many reasons. It ties into the lack of opportunities some have while others are given more opportunities in life. I think the opportunities one is given are how their life outcome will be. Some of the richest people in the world are well-known white families who have been in power for a long time. Their generational wealth has been around for years which made it easier on their children. The minority communities are dominantly middle-class or low-class the opportunities are slimmer than none. A lot of us have to choose between our education and working in order to survive. I can say personally I choose to work and now that I’m more financially stable I have taken up the opportunity to come back to school. My generation now we are all trying to establish businesses so we can create a generational worth.
