You can get mad at whatever you want, but I’ll spend my time focused on what causes the conditions that makes someone want to shoplift.

Not mad at all. Even a little bit. Commenting on something =/= "mad". And great; that's a noble cause. Just saying, lots of people love to view petty crime as the oppressed getting to stick it to the oppressors, and thats an incredibly simplistic way of looking at it.

No, it's just simplistic. Im black, not rich, but I do ok, and not oppressed. If I go out and shoplift tonight, it's absolutely not some attempt to get back at oppressors. Its simply bc I felt like doing it.

Its not anecdotal; it hasn't actually happened. The point is, is that it is entirely possible. That other black people, who are fine financially, and do not seem themselves as oppressed can engage in petty crime (as can anyone of any race).

You’re making a pretty bold statement. That every petty theft instance isn’t a statement to the oppressors. So do you have a source for this?

Point to where I said *every* petty theft isn't a statement to oppressors. PLEASE pint to that.

And while you're doing that, go ahead and ignore where I clearly said *it's possible*, not *every instance*. Good Lord.pic.twitter.com/TmqnzhSB2y
