Another reason we should stop the war on drugs. It is enforced at a far greater rate against inner city minorities. The government has no business telling anyone what they can put into their bodies.
Nope. Every single street gang out there is made up of mostly minorities. Every single one of them deals and uses drugs.
The frightening thing is you actually believe that. You don't have to be in a gang to take drugs. So whether or not your statement is true does not the address the fact that whites and blacks have similar rates of drug use.

Drug possession is not what's getting these people locked up for any length of time. It is the dealing part of it. More minorities deal drugs in this nation and that's a simple fact. Ride through ANY ghetto or minority neighborhood and see how many runners are supplying curbside service.

Where are all the white kids/youths getting their drugs? You think they are all driving to the ghetto? How about kids/youths who don't live anywhere near a ghetto; where do they get their drugs? Lots of white people are involved in the drug trade. Statistically there should be more whites then blacks in jail for drug crimes, since they are just as likely to be dealing drugs.
The sample included 13,706 White and Black youths between 12 and 17 years of age. Almost 5% of the households received public assistance. Approximately 3.4% of youths indicated selling drugs. Among Whites, rates of drug dealing were 4.5% for males and 2% for females. Among Black adolescent males and females, rates of drug dealing were 6.4% and 1.6%, respectively. Rates of drug dealing did not differ across race.

It's good to see one of these "my race is better than your race" tournaments to be based on statistical facts and figures as opposed to news headlines, photos (including those unflattering mugshots), and videos of low-lifes in action. This is not to say that I don't like a hi-res video of a fistfight, or surveillance footage of a robbery. Heck, now and then I'll do a search on Youtube using the keywords "hockey" and "fight". I'm just saying it's just nice to see a "my race is better than your race" online tournament to actually have yardlines on the field of play.
So let's say that a white minister took the podium and said:
80% of young Blacks now have criminal records
Blacks represent 38% of the U.S. prison population while they only represent 13% of the total U.S. population
70% of Black fathers abandon their children
Blacks have a High School dropout rate nearly double that of whites
How do you suppose that would go over? Which one of those statements is incorrect??...which one??
But we are not as ignorant as you!!
If those statistics were factual and a white preacher said as much, so what.
But due to your inabilty to be intellectually honest, let me correct your simple minded post and present it in a comparable manner to the post at hand.
A white preacher gets up and says ALL black people have criminal records, ALL black people were fatherless, ALL black people are high school drop outs.
Then we would have a problem.
But you never answered the quetion of my original post. List one instance where Rev. Wright lied.
