Of course. People get "trapped", because systems are set up that way. Most impoverished neighborhoods are developed in a way that they will fail. Without outside groups to come in and fight for them, it's very hard to escape that trap. It's circular. Lack of education and resources = You don't know how to get out of the trap, and even if you did, you couldn't afford what it would cost to fight off the oppression. In most cases the conclusion is to accept your circumstances and not fight.
