That is obvious.

What is also obvious is hood rats prefer to be stupid. There can be no other explanation.
Cities - cities are the explanation. Cram them full of white folks living under the yoke of poverty and move the blacks to rural areas and suburbs and you'll see the white prison population explode.

Instead of addressing these critical issues, we want to bring in more & more dependents to cripple the country forever. If you are siding with any candidate or party that is telling you to ignore or downplay your issues & wants you to focus on helping outsiders, then you are seriously sabotaging yourself & your children's future. Its ok to be selfish & ask your leaders to resolve the issues close to home rather than get brainwashed into helping them replace poor, troubled Americans with immigrants for cheaper labor.
I wholeheartedly agree with this! Personally I believe the first American issue that needs to be resolved, is directly helping black America. The economic issues for this group have been glaring for centuries. If we get this one off our back, we can move forward and enter a golden age for all Americans.

The most clear cut are the drug cases.

*******************************
According to the Human Rights Watch, people of color are no more likely to use or sell illegal drugs than whites, but they have higher rate of arrests. African Americans comprise 14 percent of regular drug users but are 37 percent of those arrested for drug offenses. From 1980 to 2007 about one in three of the 25.4 million adults arrested for drugs was African American.
***************************************
There are similar statistics that show Blacks get longer sentences for the same crime.

The statistics for stop and frisk in NY showed Blacks were stopped and frisked far more than whites even though a small part of the population. And the yield of those stops was very low.

The Blacks tend to be poor but a whole lot of it is institutional racism.
So why are Asians even less likely to go to jail than whites? You claim that "people of color" have higher rates of arrests than whites, but thats not true of Asians so you obviously lied there.

It is sad, the women "married" welfare, and the men went to roll with gangs.

The women aren't being incarcerated, right? But maybe similarly "imprisoned" by (or stuck in) the set-up.

And when some try to do different and get out, they are called 'acting white' or some such.

Are you telling us they're not?

Are you saying there are 900,000 innocent people in jail?

Nothing's going to happen unless we get big money out of politics. And as long as huge numbers of African Americans refuse to vote for candidates that are not puppets of big money, the problems will persist. Why not actually fight to get big money out of politics so politicians can serve the people and not the big money people?

I agree. Police hover around areas that are predominantly black. That is why theoretically if all groups (us being human) commit the same amount of crimes, black people get arrested more. Though it goes deeper than that in order to get the numbers up to 900,000.

Ironically, black people are slowly but surely being pushed out of the cities, so white people can come back in. What we will see in the future is white people being in the cities (with more going to jail), while black people are on the outside without the help of police protection. In other words, it might be a Mad Max type of future for black people outside of the cities.

I indicated I don't believe all are criminals. That is insane. Again, out of 1 billion people in India, only 300,000 are in jail. I don't think all 300,000 are criminals in India. So how is it possible for most if not all 900,000 black people to be criminals? Do you know how insane that is?

Think about it, my ancestors could speak english. In theory, black people should be ahead of most people in the country, including all the white immigrant descendants. The only logical explanation as to why that is not the case is because we were intentionally kept down. We had businesses burned to the ground, etc. We couldn't progress. What you see today in our community is the final result of hundreds of years of social engineering.

Then it will not change until blacks themselves change it. Look, we whites have our fair share of idiots and criminals too, but there is a huge difference in how we view them vs how blacks view their problem people. When some white breaks the law, we other whites are all over the police to arrest them and get them off the streets. We will cooperate to the fullest, and provide the police with whatever assistance we can to do their job. That does not happen in the black communities.

It seems that blacks have this code of silence when it comes to ratting out other blacks. We see it time and time again, where the police are trying to conduct an investigation, and no one will come forward to help them get the bad guys. Locally, we had a 5 year old boy killed in a driveby, and there were witnesses who could ID the killers. Yet, no one came forward, even the best friend of the grieving mother.

Every journey starts with that first step, and if you want to change things, you need to change the perception that a lot of us have that crime is a way of life in so many black communities. People like Barack Obama should be an inspiration to other blacks, not sure why he was not more successful in changing his own people's attitudes.

If that were really true, I could easily dismiss the OP, but I know that far too many of those people are in prison for what amounts to simple, victim-less crimes. And many have been proved to be innocent of the charges that put them there.

We see far too many white boys getting a virtual slap on the wrist for crimes that have put blacks and Hispanic offenders in prison for years.
