[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think if you were to look with an open mind you would see plenty of oppressed communities in the world today. And yes, poverty and crime do often go together across cultures. But I find this absence of personal responsibility in your argument really chilling. It's complicated, but at the most basic level each of us chooses which action to take.[/quote] Excusing people from committing violent crime "because they are poor" is the soft bigotry of low expectations. While we need to help uplift people in poverty, we can and should expect better.[/quote]
