Saying "I did it to survive" is attempting to justify the means.
When you justify the means you will do it again, thus robbing you of the ability to look elsewhere (IE; worksource (they will find you work, no matter your position), Library (go apply online to jobs there), etc. etc.)

i dont think you understand.
in america, no one hires black people, you have to be college educated to even have a chance.
Taking that into consideration what else are we supposed to do till then, by then OG's swooped them up and they are killing for money.
also, im not justifying at all, it is wrong, but when you leave a person with no other choice...
damn im gettin old
You said criminal behaviour was not misbehaving, so I feel like you are sorta saying it is just behaviour as well (e.g. trying to justify it). Sure crime can be more justifiable under certain circumstances, but it is still crime, and it helps build the stereotype which leads to police bias (if it exists, that is a discussion for another thread).

so your point is because people dont know how to not be biased people should have to suffer in poverty.
im not justifying at all, but when it comes down to it , when your in these situations wouldn't you act similarly. Everybody wants whats best for them, but sometimes you cant get whats best for you unless you sacrifice something, in this case it's morality.

No, because people aren't willing to suffer through poverty, people become bias towards those people. Without associative learning humans would be very stupid and probably very dead as well, so subconscious stereotypes forming is understandable, unfortunately some people can't keep this sort of thing from affecting their judgement. This is not justifiable, but it isn't the main cause of the high crime rates either.
