The "justice" system is a joke and is used as a form population control. It's pretty obvious that there is an effort to eliminate certain segments from the population.

WUT???

Any person with half a brain realizes that there may be problems with the justice system, but we are smart enough to realize that the cycle only creates more of a problem than it does to "eliminate certain segments from the population". Sending dads to prison creates more dads who are going to end up in prison. There might very well be a problem, but I don't think we're doing this shite on purpose.

And I'd like to see these statistics. Not saying I don't believe it, I just want to understand them exactly. Is it a higher percentage of drug users/sellers are white, or a higher percentage of white people use/sell drugs? That's a big difference.

If 50% of drug users are white and 30% are black, it's not some awe inspiring statistic since the black population is only 13%. I can twist that to make it sound like a higher percentage of drug users are white.

Also, like I said before, how are we getting these statistics, yet the arrest and incarceration rates are so skewed? How are we documenting that a white guy is a drug dealer, yet not have an arrest to show it. If the statistics you state are true, you know he is a dealer, he has been arrested, then there would not be such an imbalance in the statistics.
