If you're a man and you've made your way to age 23 without getting arrested, consider it a win. A new study finds that 38% of white men, 44% of Hispanic men, and 49% of black men have been arrested by that age for non-traffic-related crimes, the AP reports. Researchers looked at annual surveys from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, in which about 7,000 young people self-reported their history.
Guessing any data or study that fits the "Blacks and other minorities Bad - White man good" theme is automatically accepted as unquestionable truth, but any study depicting whites anywhere near being just as bad or worse, must be wrong? So you believe the part about the Black men, but then something went wrong when polling the whites that flagged your B.S. meter? Makes sense being that Blacks are criminals, Mexicans are illegal gang banger, Native Americans were savages (that was before most of them were killed off of course), and Arab are terrorists...
Don't try to paint me with that brush. It's a lazy argument, and I'm not getting into the gutter with you.
I thought conservatives were libertarian leaning? What happened to government out of industry and peoples lives????
Bunch of BS
Libertarians are the true conservatives. Neo-cons on the other hand PRETEND to be conservative and for small government, unless it's something that they feel "icky" about!

Where is most of the crime in the US? I'm guessing it's in the big inner cities. Since most blacks choose to live in the inner city where the crime is, it stands to reason they would statistically be more likely to be involved in crime. Seems like the likelihood of being involved in crime comes down to where you live.
Across the nation, four out of five whites live outside of the cities and 86 percent of whites live in neighborhoods where minorities make up less than 1 percent of the population. In contrast, 70 percent of Blacks and Latinos live in the cities or inner-ring suburbs.

i don't know how they define 'neighborhood' here. in my experience less than 1 percent minority is uncommon outside of flyover country.
upper middle class suburbs of nyc are generally 1-3 percent black and in the neighborhood of 10 percent asian,
I wouldn't consider not being arrested a win, that implies dumb luck was involved. The small majority of young men who were never arrested are simply nicer people.
Many of you that mention marijuana ignore all other crime. I'm not a fan of marijuana but would be happy to do this trade...Legalize marijuana in exchange for much stiffer sentences for more serious crimes. The goal should be to lock up all violent offenders until they are at least age 50. Not having violent offenders circulating among us would make the U.S the safest and most civilized country it's ever been...it would be a near utopia in many aspects.
