Reply #17: Some of them

[incontrovertible]

If a white guy robbed you, would you assume that:

- He was a drug addict who was desperate for a fix

Yeah.

- He had some urgent economic need that made him desperate

Yeah, most likely the economic need for money for his drug.

- He was tired of not being able to get a job because of the stereotypical misperceptions of potential white employers who see all black males as potential or probable criminals

It's been my experience that most criminals aren't frustrated with an inability to find gainful employment. Most of them aren't interested in that. They're interested in getting moeny, right now, without having to endure being told what to do, because fuck everyone else. My heart tends not to bleed for the poor disadvantaged muggers.

- He was getting desperate and just thought to hell with it, I need money and can't get a job anyway?

I seriously doubt the inability to get a job crosses the mind of 99.9999999 percent of all criminal types.

- He was angry that he wasn't being given a chance to prove himself through honest employment?

See points three and four.
