“The statistics have proven we don’t commit more crimes than anyone else, but we’re more likely to get stopped, detained and arrested,” Wilson said. “The word is getting out and people are more aware of it,” she says.
Even though marijuana use is the same between blacks and whites, blacks are arrested for marijuana possession at a much higher rate. For every 100,000 blacks, 700 are arrested while for whites it is 200.

I watched the thousands demonstrate for the immediate release of OJ
Naacp said they had proof he was the innocent victim of discrimination
Lies lies lies he was Nothing but a vicious merciless murderer
Dead bodies don't lie the black community has a violence problem own your stuff
If only Archie bunker owns his stuff you have only fixed 50% of the problem

Read what I wrote. I said that I've been to some lily black neighborhood's and did not have or see any problems. If every black neighborhood was dangerous the nation would be in chaos.
Many times Whites aren't charged like blacks and Hispanics are charged.
There are some serious crime in St. Louis. Criminals are a very very small portion of the population.
Not really. Black people only make up 13% of the population and only live in certain areas. And Detroit, New Orleans, Memphis, etc. ARE in chaos.
You don't drink alcohol? Aspirin? Caffeine? Some foods can even alter our minds the way "drugs" do.
Why do you think other men should pick and choose what "drugs" you consume?
Sorry, I will not listen to Corporatists or a Government that tells me a natually God-given plant is illegal to grow or consume. Good luck blindly following other men the rest of your life, but cannabis makes up the majority of the budget for the war on "drugs" and cannabis-one of the only substances known to man that you can't overdose on- is the reason why most "drug" offenders are in jail.
It's actually pretty disgusting when you consider that the number one cause of accidental death in this country is now CORPORATE drugs yet there are still people like you that think you can hide behind a moral facade of ignorance and imprison MASSES of people for a plant that has NEVER killed a human being.
While I am pro-legalization, in fairness the police etc. have been heavily cracking down on oxy and other prescription abuses. They just busted a doctor not too long ago that was prescribing the stuff to anyone with whatever half-arsed excuse. What got her in trouble was a guy with an extra of a dog (you can see the tail) and she gave him a script for his back pain. lol.

Haha-yeah and it's about time too. My good friend's Dad went to jail for a few years (pharmacist giving out pain meds like candy). Florida used to be the pill mill capital of the country where anyone could get pills and it was a cash only business. I think they have since cracked down.
I think we are through the worst of the legal drug epidemic, but the surge in heroin use is directly tied to the surge in legal drug use.

Care to show your source? Since you are stating specific numbers I assume you have the source handy.
This has been a known true statement. Blacks are charged and prosecuted more for their crime than Whites. I don't think anyone with their right mind would be convinced of anything different.
That is because more whites have a job.
Lawyers charge for their services.
I'd bet that the whites that get convicted are convicted for the very same reason.
Not enough money to hire a real attorney and having to settle for a Pubic Defender will almost always get you jail time!
Being poor is the problem .. not skin pigmentation!
Get over the racist meme and get a job, quit committing crimes!
It's 100% true. Whites are more likely to use and sell drugs than blacks. Why aren't they in jail for it?
Where are you pulling that load from?
