Actually they are, every single one. They are just not Woke-facts (tm).

Actually they aren't, not a single one, blacks are more likely to be suspected and charged while non-blacks walk free or aren't even investigated, Jews were hated 'because they killed the mythical Jesus' as early as the 2nd century, Muslims that are doing what you call terrorism are fighting back against the US, generally speaking, waging a war OF terror' against them, between 4.5 and 6 million deaths in the Middle East alone, and 'The offending rates of undocumented immigrants were consistently lower than both U.S.-born citizens and documented immigrants for assault, sexual assault, robbery, burglary, theft, and arson.' ~ National Institute of Justice.

Congratulations, you are wrong on everything

I'm pretty sure that

1) I'm non-black

2) I am not going to walk free after committing a crime

3) there are more white men in jail than blacks. How did they get there?

The rest of you rant is actually not bad, but you submarine your credibility completely in your second statement.

Um. I think #3 is wrong. IF (and only if) this quick Google search is factual" The ethnic breakdown of incarcerated people in the US are:

Race: 32% Black, 31% White, 23% Hispanic, 10% multiracial or some other race, 2% American Indian or Alaska Native, 1% Asian, Native Hawaiian, or Other Pacific Islander

Wow.

But the problem is State prisons / Fed prisons, are those both included here?

Blacks are about a tenth of the population, whites the majority. Hence, there are more whites than blacks in prison, or poor, or whatever. You have to consider the proportions: blacks in prison are far more than their share.

And yes, that's partly because they're also more likely to commit crimes, if only because they're excluded from society and see crime as their only chance to succeed. When you mistreat people, you're morally responsible for the results.

But there's no reason to think the prosecution/imprisonment numbers reflect real crime rates. For one thing, the police just aren't that effective.

"But here's no reason to think the prosecution/imprisonment numbers reflect real crime rates."

No reason?

I don't pretend that is a perfect correlation at all, and many agree, which is why they go immediately to murder statistics because those are more often reported due to the dead body, death cert. & etc.

You say "You have to consider the proportions: blacks in prison are far more than their share."

OK; so if you're correct here (and I really don't even know if you are), what's the upshot of that?

Are you insinuating that those damn niggers are just no good and we should just get rid of them?

Hey, man, don't mince words: let us know what you really think!

No, he is saying "you have to consider the proportions" and then your mind went where it went.

Myeahhh...there are facts in there, but there are subjective qualifiers in there too, which muddy the waters.
