Blacks are far more likely to be arrested than people of other races, and in some places, dramatically so. Using FBI arrest records, USA TODAY found nearly 1,600 places where the disparity in arrest rates is more pronounced than in Ferguson, Mo.


The fact that someone can look at the facts and then come away thinking "well obviously this is proof that blacks are unfairly targeted by racist PDs" is mind-blowing.

Maybe black commit more crimes. But stating facts is racist.

I once had a black person tell me that the ONLY difference between primarily white schools and primarily black schools was that the former had better teachers and methods and that if you simply transplanted all the teachers from one school to the other and reversed all policies and funding from one to the other, then the black school would perform as well as the white and the whites would fall back.

I think there are people who are so cocooned that they don't realize that what is common in their own back yard isn't common elsewhere.

I think that many blacks in the ghetto think that white suburbs are just as crime ridden but the cops don't go after the whites.

Listened to a piece on NPR last month about detroit black moms who have started home schooling their kids. That was one of the reasons they had for doing it is because the teachers treated the black kids unfairly.

I wonder if their is a county or parish where whites are arrested at a greater rate than blacks. Has to be somewhere.

You mean poor people commit crimes at higher rates? And black people are proportionally poor?

Shocked.

The problem/s will never be corrected until they can accept that their culture has a huge problem.

They'll never be forced to accept it until guilty feeling, scarf wearing, blue haired white people can STFU and stop perpetuating the lack of accountability.
