The article "I'm a criminal and so are you" is really interesting to me. Its brings up a good point that people don’t realize. Michelle Alexander talks about how everyone is a criminal, but they just don’t know it. How people think that criminal only exist in ghettos mainly or in jail. That is not the case, because there are criminals all around us. If you have ever broken a law like smoking, or drinking under age you are criminals according to Michelle Alexander.” You are a criminal that just has not be caught, You’re still a criminal, no better than many of those who've been branded felons for life” says Michelle Alexander.
I agree with Michelle, because yes this is true. We tend to think that we are better than people in jail, but we are not because we might be doing the same thing that they were put in jail for. However I also disagree with Michelle. My reason is because she is saying that people should not treat criminals any different. I believe that it depends on what type of criminal it is. For example, I do believe that rapist and murderers should be treated different, because f what they did. I know I’m a criminal because I break laws, but I have never went as far a murdering someone. I think that’s wrong! They should be looked t differently.
Michelle Alexander says that “ Criminals can be denied the right to vote, automatically excluded fro juries and legally discriminated against in employment.” I think this should only be toward certain types of criminals.
