I'm a criminal and so are you

Not many people know this is or acknowledge but everyone is a criminal. They might not have robbed a bank or stole a car but they have done something minor. Most people won't admit to being a criminal because they don't quite get the full concept of the definition of criminal. the reason they are criminals and never been convicted because what they did was minor such as running a light on the freeway, smoking pot, or even drinking under age. People think these are natural things to do and don't see the wrong in both these law breaking's. Most people who engage in conversation like these say yes to all these questions asked such as speeding on a freeway always seem to think criminals exist somewhere in the ghetto. No matter how old they are or what gender they are this what they think when the word criminal comes to mind. In the country we live in today, we force millions of people of color for example black and brown into the second class status because they have committed a crime. And because of this some people are denied the right to vote an labeled a felon for life because of one crime they committed. They also automatically excluded from jury duty and hard to find a good job that pays well. Colleges are hard to get into because they look at everything on a person background before they accept them into their school. But not all people are recognized as criminals such as President Barack Obama, Obama has admitted to smoking weed in college days. This shows everyone has committed a crime but hasn't quite done anything big to be informed as a criminal.
