Yes, we do. Stealing from a store is not "less wrong" just because other people do worse things.

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).

Are you quoting a legit study or are you just spewing your own idealistic instances?

Legit study? You need a study to surmise that in a country of 43 mil black people, there are others of us who are financially fine, do not view them selves as oppressed, and are able to shoplift? What a stupid question.

Once again do you have a legit study that supports your claim? You speak for every “financially fine” person?

Once again? You first asked me to prove that it happened in *every instance*. Then when I shot that down, you pull out a "once again". Amateur. And I never claimed to speak for *every* financially fine person.
