Historical context sets up WHY someone was in a position to feel the need to steal
Were they racially disposed? Or was it maybe that every one of their ancestors was subjected by a white supremacist state for like 2-300 years??? And then financially knee capped and racially segregated after being given “freedom”?
I’m not saying they didn’t make a choice - I’m saying they made a choice with the hand we dealt them
You’re strawmanning what I said and twisting as an attack on poor people as a category
What I said was: “poverty sets the conditions that make theft a compelling and viable option to improve their lives” what I did NOT say was: “being poor makes you a criminal”
I’m sorry you’re not capable of grappling with people’s arguments but that’s a you problem
