    As a white youth I went through the system several different times. I personally got a pretty raw deal so I really don't want to hear it.

    Will lost his common sense for a few minutes if the incident wasn't staged. All Will had to say was, "That wasn't funny. You don't joke about someone's illness." He would have been seen as a defender of people with medical conditions, and disabilities, and he still would have scored points with Jada. Instead, he looked like a lunatic who grossly overreacted.

    Right. So never mind my source, your alleged personal experience must be how it is in general for the entire US.
    Got it.

    I know how it was for me and I lived it.

    The irony here is that your claim is saying how it is in general for the entire white race versus the black race. Well, my experience contradicts that information.

    What horse shiite.


    The report concluded that for whites and Blacks, “there were no statistically significant differences by race between offenders identified in the NCVS and persons arrested per the UCR. White and Black people were arrested proportionate to their involvement in SNVC overall and proportionate to their involvement in SNVC reported to the police.”
    U.S. DOJ Statistics on Race and Ethnicity of Violent Crime Perpetrators | Prison Legal News

    Blacks are a mere 13% of the population and yet are responsible for 54% of the robberies and 56% of the murders.

    hahaha, no. No one is being disproportionately arrested that’s been debunked 50 times at least here on this site, but don’t let that get in the way of a string of virtue signaling offenses.

    You can't prove it and saying it doesn't make it true. Also, being rich regardless of race has proven beneficial so that kills your argument as well.

    So what?

    Can you prove they shouldn't get in trouble the most? Can you prove that white people are getting away with behavior at traffic stops that blacks get 'in trouble' over?

    How do you know that blacks don't resist cops at a much higher rate than whites? Because if they do then of course they're getting in trouble more at traffic stops.

    Sure, so all data and facts are now wrong because it doesn't fit your narrative. No legitimate conversation can be had with someone who claims all the facts are fake and wrong. I'll let someone else beat their head against a wall.

    You could be the exception of the rule for all you know.
    You could be just making it all up for all I know.

    In the end. I sourced what is true. And you have not debunked it.

    I was going to make something up I think I would make something up it's not you know, something I'm not terribly proud of.

    I saw plenty of other white people in correctional facilities too. But you'll probably doubt that as well....

    Right... here have a source proving it's true.

    https://www.hrw.org/reports/2000/usa/Rcedrg00-05.htm
    The disproportionate rates at which black drug offenders are sent to prison originate in racially disproportionate rates of arrest.72 Contrary to public belief, the higher arrest rates of black drug offenders do not reflect higher rates of drug law violations. Whites, in fact, commit more drug crimes than blacks. But the war on drugs has been waged in ways that have had the foreseeable consequence of disproportionately targeting black drug offenders.

    Did you notice that your source keeps siting statistics from the '80s to the early and mid-90s?

    Got anything within the last 20 years or so?

    So what?

    sourced it again in post 335

    How about you do your own research.
    There probably are stats out how cops behave towards white and black people. And who gets beaten more often when unarmed and/or not even arrested.

    It's your problem to not wanting to consider that racism is institutionalized and cops arrest black and white people exactly to the proportion of the crimes they commit and that no crime goes unsolved. You know what a real kicker is. Cops really hunt down black people doing drugs compared to white people. So you would think they would also solve a lot of homicides on black people, since they are there.... but that's when they rather help out solving a white person who got killed. It's all about priorities with them.

    All that typing for nothing. All you did was lie, and for no reason at all. Why?

    Proves no such thing. CRT simply makes the assumption that ANY racial disparity that disfavors blacks, is by definition due to systemic racism.

    "There are many reasons for the racial disparities in drug arrests, including demographics,[55] the extent of community complaints, police allocation of resources,[56] racial profiling,[57] and the relative ease of making drug arrests in minority urban areas compared to white areas.[58] One analyst has observed that in the war on drugs:

    Racial profiling is almost inevitable. Race becomes one of the readily observable visual clues to help identify drug suspects, along with age, gender and location. There is a certain rationality to this-if you are in poor black neighborhoods, drug dealers are more likely to be black. Local distribution networks are often monoracial; downscale markets are often neighborhood-based; and downscale urban neighborhoods are often segregated . . . . The law and practice of drug enforcement is market-specific, and the markets are divided by race and class.[59]"

    So when the police get complaint calls on a bunch of "black" guys selling drugs on the street outside the callers home, and the police respond by looking for black guys selling drugs on the street, which will have a disparate impact upon blacks, HRW labels this racism. Even though the intent of the police is to serve the needs of the citizens making the complaint, CRT and HRW argue that the intent is irrelevant. Only the results determines if racism exist. If it has a disparate impact upon blacks, it is by definition structural racism.

    Well Will Smith has quit the Academy before they had a chance to throw him out. I guess he is desperately trying to keep them from taking back his Oscar too.

    Commits a strikingly disproportionate amount of crime --> gets treated like someone who commits a strikingly disproportionate amount of crime.

    The word is that Yada caught her husband sexually molesting a young girl and now he is looking for anything to keep her from filing a report on him.

    It doesn't change my source, now does it?


    Right, so you do ZERO efforts in finding something more recent, but assume the world changed? lol
    This is out of 2015.... and it shows it has been like this ever since those years.

    It's up to you to prove me wrong.
    It shouldn't be so hard considering you got this personal experience.

    Right wingers like to claim that if you are polite, cops won’t assault you during an encounter with police.
    I guess he had the wrong attitude when confronted by law enforcement.

    "racial profiling,[57] and the relative ease of making drug arrests in minority urban areas compared to white areas." is flat out part of systemic racism. Your example of that this is the result of "complaints" is made up. The article drags it's data from the 1970's. I posted in 344 a link with an article with data far more recent,... showing it is still like that. The data comes in both cases from (among institutions) the FBI. So the government knows that white people do equal to even more drugs, while their war on drugs has been totally focused on black people for + 30 years now. That is going forth with institutional racism.

    Most of all it also gives people the idea, when eyeballing who the cops arrest, that this is because black people are more criminal.... which is flat out not true. White people simply get off easy. That was my point all along.

    Hmmm.... Direct life experience versus some statistics some guy pulled up on the internet...
    Tough choice.

    So what is it I'm supposed to be proving you wrong about here again?

    WHAT "Direct Life Experience"?
    Anecdotal Fairy Tales from Anonymous Internet People PROVE NOTHING..

    At Least "statistics" can be PROVEN (and, verified independently).
    But, yeah, like I said earler--"Justice" can be subjective.
    I know, based on MY "Direct life experience".
    I did 20 Years in Attica on a Trumped-Up Kiddie Raper Beef...
    I got a Raw Deal...
    Even cost me a chance at being included on a planned (but scrapped for budgetary reasons) Mission to.Mars.
    Once again, I felt that pain...:salute:

    You dumbly are assuming that black people behind the wheel commit a disproportionate amount of crime.
    There are stats out that would prove or disprove your point, and you never looked it up.

    Thing is, they found out that the % of black people who get stopped for driving during the night is lower.
    It must mean that during the night, black people commit less crimes, ey? lol
    It could not possible be that cops can't see who is behind the wheel that much and can't be that racist anymore

    Facts from 2 different sources. One being the highly credible Human Rights Watch. Both say they got their data from the FBI. The sources both paint the same picture ..... vs 1 anonymous poster on an iffy forum disputing it with ahe knows best, but just can not prove it.

    Yeah tough choice.
