As
the events in Ferguson, Missouri continue to unfold, a common excuse
being offered for the riots and looting is poverty and income
inequality. An article written by retired NBA player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
outlines what he calls the reasons for a coming race war
that stems from class warfare and systemic racism. The article was so
full of liberal talking points and delusional distortions that I had to
take a break after each paragraph. He, like others, claims that the rich
are somehow holding back poor blacks in order to maintain control of
their riches. He also claims the rich are hurting the poor by lobbying
to cut food stamps, refusing to extend unemployment benefits and

American society is on such stage of development when crimes are particularly done by the immigrants and unsocial elements who are not ready for the capitalism and self-cultivation. I think the society can be very highly developed, however there always will be people who are no ready to live in such conditions. But there're still many people who are low-payed, but they don't resort to violence. They chose to take best cash advance loans and stay good persons. I think it's always up to the person.
