Those who try to spin it and say its because they don't have any money are trying desperately to explain that those committing crime are not to blame.
No, I try just to explain how to read correctly a detailed set of datas. Crime is linked with a strong correlation coefficient to poverty, that's a fact shown by all the datas and not only in US. The datas show that white poors commit crimes in the same rates than black poors.
As a french I really don't care at all about dems or reps, liberal or conservatives propaganda, that's really an only US-centered concern. They're the same BS seen from here, to use a word you use at almost every one of your posts.
Then, conclusion clear of the statistics, people commit crimes because of social background, not because of ethicity!
Nothing to see with blaming or not blaming. Blaming is a justice subject, not a statistical one! I only speak about statistics!
