frick it, I will play. My white privledge allows me to live in a all white neighborhood where I can go outside without fear of being robbed or shot. Where I can walk my kids up and down the street without hearing foul language and rap music. Where I can actually have nice things in front of my house without fear of it being stolen. Being white is great.

Same hold true when priors are controlled for. Sorry to disappoint you.

I've got a cousin who has always said that he is treated like a black person when it comes to police and jobs. Wanna know why? Because he is a trash dick. Some of the shite he does will illicit a very strong COME ON, MAN from those around him. He knows he has no class. He knows it is not his race. He knows that people dont want low class arse clowns affecting their lives or businesses. Yet, he doesnt change. Guess what? He doesnt even think I'm a racist when i tell him he is fricking up and should change his behavior.

We're not talking about low class clowns. We're talking about blacks and whites with equal education, college education, , similar experience, etc..
Check out the black vs. white resume studies. Sorry to disappoint again.

You linked a study in NYC? That doesn't show squat. What do you think those numbers would look like if they performed the same study in New Orleans, Chicago, and Detroit? If drug use is equal why are they arrested 300% more than other races? The cops are either not searching whites or just letting them go, which is it?

And are you saying whites have a bigger problems with weapons than blacks? I'm assuming this is not what you're saying but just want to be clear.

You reek of responsible decision making. If you have a job and are not on the dole, I'd say your chances are high.

Because they are profiled and stop more and whites are stopped less.

I am saying that in NYC where there are about 25% blacks, they targeted blacks more than whites for contraband weapons. However, the data shows that whites stopped and searched were more likely to have illegal weapons than blacks.

I don't know. And what do you think those numbers would look like in Sacramento, Philadelphia, Lafayette, Lincoln, etc?

BTW, it was not a study, the profiling which did not work out as planned, actually happened.
