Yes, that is why they need the rest of us to sacpegoat for them. So the stereotype continues that minorities are more prone to comitt most of the crime, the police media and other dullards eat the bs and continue spreading the prejudice. The really BIG criminals are the ones you mentioned.

This seems like it is bending the truth a bit. Are these men getting arrested or are these men being incarcerated?

I was arrested along with a lot of my friends back in high school for getting caught throwing a keg party in the woods. None of us went to jail, but we had to sit in the back of cop cars until our parents picked us up. Does that put me in the percent of white males who have been arrested?

It's ok to be scared of something you don't understand. Judging by your post you also never have a sip of alcohol.

Congratulations! You and 10% of Americans share the same philosophy.

Your a minority!

The deeper you look into the issue the more corrupt and messy it gets.
.......and most of those arrests occur in cities with mono-party rule.....which gets 90% of the black vote. Not saying blacks should vote republican btw....just pointing out that the big issue you have here occurs in what are predominantly democratically controlled bastions.

The reality might just be that with such a monolithic voting block, they have no leverage politically and are therefore screwed either way.

I haven't examined the study so I don't pretend to defend it, it may be terrible. Many studies use self report, and it can be an effective means. As Jason points out, the situation under which the survey is administered can be problematic but that can also be muted with appropriate methods.
The part that sent my BS detector on high alert was how high the white arrest rate was relative to the black arrest rate.

We all know the correlations with poverty and of course biases in policing and whatnot so there is no way those ratios are that close together.

No, but his lawyer was. (Kinda like Robert Blake, OJ and many others with $$$)

Don't worry though, that moron got 10 years probation and he will screw up and serve time eventually.

I was surprised to see that as well. It seemed a little off.

Oh please. This is exactly why we shouldn't let stupidity influence public opinion. We'll have a STUPID public.


I'm self employed and probably half your age. Started working straight commission in the 2nd largest market in the country and helped bring a brand spanking new team to the top of the company. I own 3 businesses, 2 which are operational, and created 2 jobs last year and gave many others commission based work. I've never been fired from a job, graduated from a top school with honors, and do a ton to help family and my communities.


See me on the street panhandling?


"Addles your mind" Where do people come up with this sh*t??




Edit: If you want, I'll come back high later tonight post work and dance circles around you on the issue. HIGH.
