    So our "souls" are not individual? CRT says racism has NOTHING to do with individuals. It has to do with institutions. Think! Why would anybody write a book about "institutional racism" directed at children? Hint: they wouldn't. Because, not only would they not understand it, but it would serve absolutely NO purpose. They would write a book about individual acts of "whiteness". Because those are the only ones children would have control over.

    You again show evidence that blacks are ARRESTED more frequently. They are falsely stopped, arrested and convicted more frequently, which we showed on the OP. We have been wasting our time with all these posts because you haven't even READ the OP.

    Let me know if you decide to read it. I will waste my time no longer

    Never said anything regarding our souls and you still cant get your head wrapped around the meaning of CRT.

    The tiny percentage of the falsely accused or arrested has no effect upon my assertions. Crime VICTIM surveys confirm that blacks are more likely to be engaged in violent crime. And the location and the color of the victims of murders with no know assailant indicates the portion of murders committed by blacks is even higher than my statistics.

    OK, I should of said I made no assertions regarding souls but did make statements regarding the authors statements about souls. Now that that bit of irrelevancy is dealt with, did you have a relevant point?
    AND I did read it. Did you have a point? Seems you didnt read it as even after adjusting my statistics for the falsely accused, STILL blacks are more likely to engage in violent crime. Most of the falsely accused were not black.

    Look... this is all very simple. I'll explain it once. If you get it, you get it. If you don't... then I'm not wasting my time anymore. Please read it through before responding

    There is NO way of knowing how many black or white people who are now or have been in prison were falsely convicted. But we do have indicators that show that they are likely way more blacks than white people. And the indicators are listed on the OP: black people are falsely stopped, arrested and convicted disproportionately more often than white people. Link to a small sample of the many studies that proves this are on the OP. The number of false convictions is one indicator.

    Also the number of convictions for ACTUAL crimes is another indicator of institutional racism. If you are stopped more often, you are more likely to be found actually doing something illegal than if you're not. And if you are arrested more often, you are more likely to be found guilty.

    A white guy who lives at 90210 and buys illegal drugs which he is carrying in his Tesla is much less likely to be stopped and searched than the black guy who drives them in an old Chevy Corvette. They are BOTH guilty of a crime. But it's the black guy who gets caught. Not the white dude.

    So the claim that black people commit more crime is ludicrous. But if you still want to grasp to that nonsense, you would, at a minimum, need to answer one question: WHY? Why would black people commit more crimes than white people? What is there in the gene that controls the color of the skin that also controls propensity to commit crimes? If you can't answer that, you have NO case. Because the answer is nothing. There is no gene that is different in black and white people that would lead them to commit more crimes.

    The idea that there is some inheritable "propensity" in black people to commit more crimes is pure white supremacist propaganda.

    Arrant nonsense. Behavior is not necessarily inheritable but it is certainly environmentally influenced, and the characteristic behaviors of a community can be identified without resort to inheritability. This is not new news.

    Are YOU aware of "BIOCHEMISTRY"

    At my best I could map it all out in 2 hours on a big piece of paper.
    Imagine:
    Pigment / melanin producing cells in the skin come from embryonic, "neural crest" cells that migrate off and play a major role in immunity and brain chemistry too.
    The Adrenergic Side associated with wakefulness, arousal, fright/flight and violence.

    Regardless of known basic science association of pigment & brain chemistry as outlined above, no one studies it.


    AND GINGERS TOO!

    And yet, here you are proclaiming with unquestionable certainty blacks dont commit more robberies or murder?????


    Actually, your statistics showed that only 46% of those falsely accused of murder were black, most were not. Youre not comprehending your own source. Arrest statistics confirm my claims. Convictions statistics confirm my claims AND victim surveys confirm my claims. You have NO statistics to confirm yours.

    Bingo! It is not inherited. It's the result of the systems and structures that exist in a community. In other words, it's institutional.

    I appreciate your help in making my case...

    You seem unfamiliar with the Moynihan report. From the link in #1158:
    ". . . the findings in the new report indicate that even as African Americans clearly enjoy more opportunity today and that the black middle class has grown, the challenges that undermine sustained and widespread economic prosperity remain stubborn. Chief among those challenges, Haskins said, is the disproportionate share of black children living in single-parent homes.

    “We have scores of studies that show that kids that grow up in single-women-headed families don’t fare as well, are more likely to do poorly in school and to drop out of school, to be arrested, to become single parents themselves,” he said. “These factors reinforce the economic disadvantages that these kids face and impact the larger black community.”

    He said the problems will remain and possibly worsen until the numbers of children in black, Hispanic and white families living in two-parent homes increase.


    “We are not going to have an effective solution to the growing inequality and poverty in the U.S. unless we can do something about family structure,” Haskins said. . . . "

    The solution for this will vary by ethnic social structure.

    Sorry, but the problem among blacks identified by Moynihan was things done by them, not things done to them.

    It doesn't teach that the Democrat Party was the party of slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow, segregation, destruction of the once strong Black family and the mass incarceration that resulted when gangs became 'dad' to the fatherless children they created. It doesn't teach that Woodrow Wilson, the patron saint of Progressivism, was the first post bellum President to segregate the Civil Service and was responsible for the rebirth of the KKK. It doesn't teach that today's Democrat Party still worships Exalted Cleagle Robert Byrd in the Capitol Rotunda and White Supremacist Stephen Douglas with a monument in Chicago. It says nothing about Nuremberg and how the Nazis, despondent when they learned that they weren't the first to write laws to target an ethnic group, looked to American Democrats as a model. It doesn't teach that the Democrats own mistress of eugenics, Margaret Sanger, was aligned with the Nazis. Teaching CRT in schools provides the smoke screen Democrats need to hide their sordid past. CRT distributes blame for Democrats' centuries long history of targeting Blacks and more recent history of targeting other minorities like Jews and Japanese Americans.

    If you look at the FBI numbers Whites and Blacks commit roughly the same number of homicides. At the time I looked, Whites made up 77% of the population and blacks accounted for 13%. That fact, driven largely by Democrats creating fatherless homes in Black communities, explains why police might be justified in being almost 6 times more suspicious of Blacks than Whites. In short, most of your evidence is driven by the party that is now throwing up a smoke screen to poison children.

    Both of which are consequence of institutional racism. Not genetics. So it makes no difference to anything I have said.

    I am amazed that so many people still believe that "institutional racism" is about ascribing blame. Despite the fact that it has been explained to them... explicitly... again and again.. that it's not. I guess it's because the right wingnut media tells them every day that that's what it's about.

    When a Democrat policeman in a Democrat police department in a Democrat run city in a Democrat run state kills a Democrat Black man, Democrats tell us it's a systemic problem or caused by one of Trump's white nationalist followers. A little early for comedy hour, but it's worth the price of admission.

    Sorry, but you're illustrating my main point: "Institutional racism" is just a catch-all for when you have no data.
