What if those parents worked hard all their lives, sent their children to school, and then had to leave behind every single thing they owned and escape with their lives? This happened to entire populations of black citizens in certain places in the US. Read Buried in the Bitter Waters about "racial cleansing" in the US. At least 260 towns and counties have been documented. Property rights, civil rights, all legal rights were thrown out the window.

Just because the US community has sanctioned systemic racist and classist abuse for all of its history is no reason for a poor or black/brown child not to not have everything that some middle class white person in the US has had, right?

The government isn't the problem evileggo. It simply provides a scrap of a safety net, with far too many holes.
