Quote from ChkitOut:
That just tells me high poverty = more senseless murder.
Were I to say publically that doing something about poverty would be doing something about crime, many on the right would immediately tell me that poverty does not cause crime. No, the causative factors are not structural when we're critiquing the classes below us, they are "character flaws", but the causative factors are structural when we are critiquing the (abusive) classes above us, and thus not our character.
