I am over the poverty equates to crime narrative fed to us

Your family is struggling and I am supposed to believe that going to jail over a few dollars is going to solve the problem? Urban crime is an American problem, not a universal problem. Why is it that some people who grow up in the same impoverished ghetto can end up as very different people? It is definitely a culture problem!

Where have you been outside of America?
Poverty usually also means very dumb, so you have to prorate your logic to understand.

I grew very poor for the first 20 years of my life, never had any trouble with the law or getting involved in any kind of crime. The only thing I ever stole as an 11 year old boy was a single comic book to which I told my dad about and he made me go pay for it the very next day.
It's all just an excuse for people to justify bad behavior.

Uh no not at all.
Go to the "ghetto" part of any country and you are just as likely to get robbed and mugged.

This is a well known prog bullshite speaking point. Crime rates follow race more than poverty rates.
And keep in mind "poverty" in the United States means being cut out of your home and lifted out with a crane.

It’s an excuse to avoid looking a racial statistics and come up with real solutions to address them. It instead focuses on the wealth gap and blames that.

On average, even poor students in the USA come from households with a higher median income and are having more money spent per student than many Asian countries. However, the Asian countries have students who are outperforming us with less resources.
If poverty and lack of resources was everything, why are poor Asian countries able to still excelling in school and have less crime issues?

Go to any of the poor sections of any “urban area” in any South American or African country and report back to us.

My father grew up extremely poor during the 1950s in rural south Louisiana. The stories he tells me sound more akin to the 1850s....hand milking a cow for milk, growing a garden for vegetables, group effort each fall to kill hogs for meat through the winter.
He talks quite a bit about the desire for more but that desire hinging on getting an education and a job to EARN a better life. His peers were equally as poor and he can't recall a single time of anyone stealing because it was "owed" to them.....
Different times.

I’m with you but your argument is just absolute crap
Posted on 10/9/25 at 10:51 am to ClemsonKitten
There's feelings, and then there's data. You're expressing the former and giving none of the latter.

Crime is proportional to poverty. That’s a fact.
But, some poor communities have WAY more crime than other poor communities. There’s a lot more violent crime in west Philly compared to Appalachia.

I can’t imagine the shame and humiliation that dude feels knowing he landed half a dozen blows and still couldn’t take that sawed off loud mouth broad with a bum knee off her feet, much less shut her up.

She was pretty tough but he never landed a clean blow either

If you’re poor, you’re less likely to believe that you have any agency and more likely to believe your plight is because of the “system/man/pick-a-ism” that is keeping you from getting ahead. When people think things are rigged against them, they’re more likely to start making their own rules.
And no, this isn’t an “American” problem. It’s a “human condition” problem.

He clearly wasn’t trying to hit her that hard on that first swing and she went flying.
