re: Dennis Prager on why poverty does NOT cause crime

quote:

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.

but it is your excuse none the less, isn't it.

spend as much time advising young black kids to stay in school, stop make babies, and not become criminals as you do making excuses for them and you could do a world of good...all you're doing here is justifying bigots' views and criminals' behavior.
