yes i understand that but -
and it seems like i'm defending him here when i know he ain't perfect but throw a rock up in the air and i doubt it'll land on someone who is - why can't a person from the middle or upper classes speak out about social issues?

you don't always have to become homeless to support the homeless
but yeh, i understand the confusion that that juxtaposition entails
