Steve you can’t just pivot the conversation to “why do poor people commit more crimes” (btw is that even true?) because you don’t want to deal with the “why do black people commit more crimes” question. The latter IS the relevant question to ask; not because melanin makes people commit more crimes but because something about black culture does. But we can’t have that desperately needed conversation. If we try to we get shouted down and called “racist” because God Forbid we actually admit that, in fact, blacks commit more crimes (not “they’re disproportionately represented in the prison population because racism). The question is WHY. My bet is the incredibly high percentage of fatherless households. But there are other factors too. We need to be honest and have a conversation about those factors, whatever they are, and work to get them corrected. But I guarantee you none of that will happen in my lifetime.
