The part that is blaringly omitted is that Prager's family was white.


always excuses, always excuses

black, poor, no opportunities...blah, blah, blah

people commit crime because they are bad, lazy, scum. I don't care if they're white, black, asian, or whatever. Plenty of white collar crime, so that blows the poverty/opportunity excuse out the window.

what it's really about is jealousy and greed of some people who want 'stuff', but aren't willing to do the things necessary to get it. yes, I had it easier than some poor black kid, but PLENTY of poor black and white kids did what was necessary to climb out of poverty without crime.

I can't believe people are still spouting this dribble

Excuse? It's just a fact. Prager's family was white and thus, despite being poor, really had no idea what blacks were facing during the same time period. Prager (and almost everyone) seems intent on dropping that context when regaling us with his Horatio Alger stories.

I can't believe people are still saying "dribble" instead of "drivel".
