What I'm trying to say is that if you don't Blame Weiss, due to her crappy childhood, how can you blame the WF? They all had just as bad things happen to them to start it all. Grandpa Schnee is the culprit. At the bottom of it, Blake and Weiss have that much in common. It is kind of silly to engage in that kind of string of blame. For one, who says Grandpa Schnee is ultimately responsible? Maybe he has his own reasons that go beyond him. Once you get in the "blame not the people who did it, but those who made them into the kind of people who would do it" department, you end up making someone sing a Billy Joel song.

That's not the same at all. She never said "it's your fault your family is dead". She said that Weiss contributes to the racism. She could just as well contribute to it if she didn't have family members who were targets, and her family members would still be targets even if she didn't contribute. Actually, she said "It is because of people like Cardin, people like you, that force the White Fang to take such drastic measures" and that is basically the same as saying it is her fault the White Fang have killed people close to her seeing as those are some of the drastic measures the White Fang have taken.
