Child poverty is not a result of racism. Child poverty is a result of people choosing to have children that they cannot support. They choose to do this with the foreknowledge that society will not provide for those children. At least, not enough to life them out of poverty.

People need to stop blaming everything on racism, and calling lots of things racist that simply are not. Conflating the issues hurts on all fronts.

In other words, it makes it harder to identify and solve the real problem, and it makes "racism" meaningless in the public dialog.
