Honestly....how can you? Or anyone?
Stop giving people a pass for their behavior and their values if their behavior and values inhibit them from improving their communities.
It's impossible, I know. But when you're trying to reach people who are trying to live out what their music conveys, you're going to fail. Telling a black boy at age 16 that staying in school to become an accountant or a grocery store manager is impossible when he's been dreaming all of his life of living out the wild and unrealistic fantasies put forth by the only music that's been geared towards his demographic.
To add some more examples -
Convincing a Mexican girl to not have unprotected sex at age 15 because she should try to go to college to make something of herself is impossible when her family at home is not only accepting but celebratory of getting pregnant and starting a family at such a young age.
Convincing Billy Bob Joe that he should strive to move out of the trailer park is impossible when his whole life has been centered around drinking cold beer as a legit hobby.
Poverty can also come in forms besides money. Convincing the 27 year old lawyer that being manipulative and greedy isn't the best lifestyle when his upbringing was in a house of people who stepped on everyone they could to get to the top is impossible.
When we say let's "fix" poverty, we're saying that everyone should have an enriching and fulfilling life with disposable income, a high quality education, and committed relationships in a safe neighborhood that values and cultivates a close-knit community. Isn't that what we want for everyone?
It's impossible. No school program or government funded charity or privatized project or church ministry is going to fix the poverty problem unless those impoverished come to the realization that their lifestyle is one of the biggest contributors to their status.
