What statistic? A statistic that shows the majority of inmates are blacks? A simple search on google would net you these results.First of all show me this statistic, also dont you think a lot of law enforcement is predisposed and even conditioned to target minorities. I have lived near poverty stricken areas to one of the richest cities in the country. There is definitely a disparity here. White rich kids can get a slap on the wrist or a cop would probably look the other way a lot easier than some cop on the beat in the projects. Its like the project cops are on the prowl, looking for the next "young black thug" to arrest. Although this is not always the case, I think it is more truthful than not. Things are not always the way they seem my friend. Statistics can be skewed in so many different ways its ridiculous, look deeper my friend.
Here is one. There are many more out there. It is common knowledge that the percentage of black inmates compared to the overall population of their race is vastly disproportionate to that of whites. No matter how many bs race cards you pull, thoes numbers arn't changing.
There are no skewing of results, there are cold hard facts that you cannot dispute. Why don't you ask our local law enforcement officers on this forum to see if they are predisposed to target minorities? My uncle was a police officer for 35 years, he patrolled and arrested all types of different people. He has no predisposition of racial targeting at all. I would wager to bet that the majority of his arrests were white middleaged men, for drug use or domestic violence. If there is a cop patrolling the projects, the chances of the people he encounters there partaking in illegal activity is MUCH higher than say in a more suburban setting.
Of course he is looking for the next young black thug, because thoes are the worthless, deadend youth that will fall into a life of crime and stay there because they are too damned lazy to do anything about their position in life. They glorify that lifestyle. They listen to music that glorifies that lifestyle, they dress in garb that glorifies that lifestyle, speak a language that glorifies that lifestyle and they partake in actions that fully cater to that lifestyle. Do you really expect a police officer or any other member of society to actually take these kids seriously?
My god, pull up your pants, put on clothes that fit, tie you're goddamned boot laces, speak proper english and get a frigging job so you can work your way up like the rest of society. It's that easy, but they won't do it because they don't want to. They think there is some magical other way of doing it. It boils down to pure laziness and an utter feeling of entitlement. Well if they are going to lead that lifestyle then they are entitled to one thing, a nice 6'x6' cell with 3 squares a day, courtesy of ME the honest hardworking tax payer.
I look very deep into these issues and I don't see any major changes, nor am I going to concede to the notion that "the white man is keeping the black man down".
