Did you REALLY just start a thread asking if black people get arrested more because they are stupid?

He's not saying all blacks are stupid. But let's be honest, most of your inner city thugs who deal with drugs aren't Rhodes Scholars. The racial impact is due to overall higher crime in inner cities leading to more cops in the area. Also it seems few white people deal drugs...if they do it's on a large scale and they don't touch it but rather have people work for them to distribute. Cops tend to target those who deal rather than use, so they look for dealers on the corners and such or find out information off the streets about who deals.
