How about the different punishment for basically the same drugs. Cocaine was predominantly used by whites while crack cocaine was predominantly used by African Americans.


How about you direct you ire towards the politicians that pushed this bill so damn hard?

They are crying out about bigotry and equating it to official policy

Everyone knows what the deal is whether they want to admit it or not. If racism dies, so does the Democrat Party. SO... It’s for that very reason that it can never die. It must live on.


This sums everything up nicely. No racism = no excuses

Come on, this entire conversation about race deals in general statements. Asians have the highest grad rates in our university system, then whites, then hispanics, then blacks. There's clearly some truth there about being unprepared.



I'm not arguing against the data.

But I do have a question, why are graduation rates the end-all be-all of education regarding college.

All majors are not created equal and neither are the colleges.

So posting that image basically tells everyone on this board that you refuse to discuss any opposing views in a mature manner.

Curious about that chart. Is it saying blacks found with marijuana on their persons are arrested at a greater proportion than whites found with marijuana on their persons, meaning that whites are let off the hook while blacks aren't?

If it's imply the total number of arrests for possession between races, the disparity between number arrests could simply be that there are more altercations with blacks who have marijuana than with whites who have marijuana and therefore the number arrested with possession charges are going to be higher for them.

I need context in order to understand if that is a "racist" statistic (in terms of systemic/institutional racism).

Do you know any white people who committed a crime like a DUI, theft, taking pills, etc. and someone in their family made a call and it went away? That.


I'm sure this has NEVER happened in any of the cities completely controlled by black leaders on behalf of a black person

When I attended UGA, I received half of the scholarship money that a minority received for the same SAT score because I’m white.

which oddly enough would mean Blacks are targeted for more searches/stop and frisk than whites because in regards to marijuana use the percentage is consistent across races.

and there you have your systematic racism you were looking for.

Forcing poor black kids to go to failing public schools instead of giving their parents a choice -- just because the teachers' unions are in the back pocket of the Democraps


How is this systemic racism? There are predominantly white school that are failing and the only option these students have is to go there or to a private $chool or home school. Has more to do with school zoning than race.

I don’t think they’re the end-all-be-all as far as the quality of the education you get, but they’re the only metric I know to measure individual success for a given person who attends. Why pay the money and waste the time if graduating isn’t the goal?

I haven't seen anything legit posted yet.

There have been some laws that perhaps affect blacks more than others, but that is not necessarily systemic racism. There is no way any law can have exact outcomes across all racial groups.

I have yet to see a law or policy aimed with intent to harm a racial group.

Democrat policies and Planned Parenthood is a systemic racism manifested, IMO.

Dude comes with some stupid shite, so he gets treated like someone who brings stupid shite, then complains when he gets downvoted into oblivion... He is far from mature...
