1. Comparing breathing to poverty is like comparing apples to oranges. There is more similarity in comparing breathing to skin tone because they are conditions we do not control.
Our bodies develop to breath and develop to have malatone based on genetics. Although we can be born into poverty, we can navigate/escape poverty.
What else seems to be missed is that I am sayin poverty/being poor is a cause because a person decides they need to commit crimes to navigate/escape poverty.
Studies that look at percentages does not determine a person's decision. Only their demographics. Im not basing my position on percentages but real interviews and surveys.
In contrast, the evidence you provided comes to a brick wall because you use demograpics. Demographics that also indicate that "blacks" and "hispanics" have higher percentages in poverty. Some how we are to forget or ingore this but assume that the mere presence in demographics demonstrates genetics as a cause.
We can easliy reference social darwinism and how it failed to demonstrate that genetics is a causation.

I think your big issue is that you assume all people have good justification for their actions.
.
I never said poverty is a justification for crime. I look at it like alcoholism. Treat alcoholism and then other issues can be addressed. Treat poverty and other issues can be addressed. If these things are not treated, then you will not prevent the abusive husband from being abusive and you won't prevent the poor kid from going to jail.
Does everyone who drinks alcohol or is an alcoholic develop abusive behaviors? No. But for the person who is abusive needs to address the alcoholism. Same for poverty. The poor person stealing has a greater need to steal. Decrease the need first and that person will have an easier time navigating life, staying out of jail, etc.
2B I dont have the survey because no one makes the survey. I also have a limit to time that allows navigating world wide web. Last night I got 4 hrs sleep to hold my kid to sleep because they have been sick. Life happens. This is an online forum. Everybody gets it.
But, anyone can argue your evidence is doing same as you blame me. Morphing correlation into a cause. I prefer a different route since most have already said it.
2c
White people owe us this', rather than extensive, valid, desperate reasons about their dire poverty requiring drastic measures.
You express a person's thought. Same as I do in point 1 above.
You also highlight a people and "their dire poverty." Somehow these people are in poverty and are in your demographics but we again are to ignore their poverty?
3. Genetics
They can say it was x or y, but I doubt any of them will factor in their genetic makeup into their explanation
Thats because social darwinism has already been debunked.

This is a negative proof fallacy. It's not logically valid.
Thats ok. This thread is not based on validity. That doesnt make a claim untrue though. Correct?
