You just summed up the liberal agenda in a nutshell. As long as someone belongs to a protected class of "victims", they are not responsible for their actions.
Instead, Democrats create massive entitlement programs for these "victims" that must be paid for by those who did absolutely nothing wrong. Then when the next election comes around, democrats (and the media, with the exception of one TV network) tell those victims that the scary republicans want to take away their welfare, so they better get out and vote democrat.
It's a very effcetive political strategy. It's so effective that our culture takes it for granted that liberals care more about the poor than conservatives. That's despite the fact that (1) study after study shows that conservatives give more time and money to charity than liberals, and (2) conservatives want poor people to become successful; liberals want the poor to stay poor, so that there is a permanent underclasss (of democrat voters) that's addicted to the welfare that liberals promise. The last thing that liberals want is for poor people to get wealthy, because if they did...they'd vote Republican!
