"Big corporations steal from the people, so I can lie on my taxes...I DESERVE IT."...
"I'm gonna sue that convenient store because I'm a moron and slipped in their parking lot...They can afford it."...
"I saw that guy drop the $20 bill, but hey...He should be more careful."...
"I'm not gonna let the guy into traffic...I got important stuff to do."...

All of what you said exists out in the public today, but at least people have the common "decency" to keep SOME of it fairly quiet.
People won't get on TV and say that they are cheating on their taxes.
Lawyers HAVE used the "big corporation" crap in law-suits...
etc, etc.
Another example is how some people will try to take that mentality and claim it excuses other illegal action, like the Jena 6.
I don't know how in the H-E-Double-Hockey-Stick anybody can think it's a rational argument to "free the Jena 6" just because of previous hardship for the blacks.
And the fact that there are actually groups of people proclaiming it? Amazing!
The obvious solution is to arrest EVERYBODY who did wrong, regardless of color. Like the jack-offs who drove around with nooses on their pick-up were arrested.
