I don't understand your statement. Blacks are more likely to be prosecuted with hate-crime enhancements than whites.

The US is about 12% black, but roughly 20% of people prosecuted with hate crime enhancements are black.
The US is about 73% white, but roughly 62% of people prosecuted with hate crime enhancements are white.

Funny that you left out the percentage of each charged with any crimes so we could draw up a ratio of crimes to hate crimes. Population won't cut it.

When did the last "white" spokesman exist? You don't see any white people come out and defend white criminals on the basis of race.

It's not funny. I was responding to a post that claimed only white people are charged with hate crimes and that black people aren't. That's just not true. 20% of all hate crime prosecutions are against black people despite the fact they only make up 12% of the population.

And you left out the number of crimes they commit. Do you not see the hole in your logic?

Do you not see the absense of your logic!!!

The poster was responding to an assertion that NO black people are charged with a hate crime.

The poster proved that to be patently untrue and posted the information.

Now you what to pipe in with how many "crimes they commit"...

What has that got to do with the fact that they are charged with the crime someone says they never get charged with???

Because if they get charged with more crimes those charges can still have a lower percentage of hate crime charges among them. It's very simple.

Population is useless. The only valid statistic you could present was that X percent of black people charged with crimes are charged with hate crimes, and X percent of white people charged with crimes are charged with hate crimes. I'm not even saying you're necessarily wrong, but your original numbers don't present a valid conclusion.

Why do White people always want to know what Jesse and Al have to say about something?

Where are the "respected" White leaders?
