my god another one of these threads...
demien, you really don’t think you’re racist? lady jacklyn is not acting like a victim. is she black? just a guess here.... but i think not. she’s sticking up for them and fighting for equality. you’ve also gone so far off topic just to insult her that i’m just losing more respect with every post you have. where’s the proof?
“black people have to help themselves”... well it would be great if decades ago they weren’t oppressed and treated like shit in the first place. can’t change history... so what now?
you say % of POC in jails exceed white people. very true... but you overlooked why. their incarceration rate is also based on racism. they’re not all innocent, they just have more chances of getting caught and given longer sentences.
here are the facts you said she couldn’t provide:
during the day, in cases where race could clearly be seen, blacks were stopped by police over 2x more than whites. at night, the gap lowered so much it was almost equal. is there another reason why besides racism?
they have the highest unemployment rates in the US, 2x more. BUT it cannot be attributed to lower education as that was controlled for. the gap was stated to be due to racial discrimination. so = higher poverty rates, lower incomes which all exacerbate their situation of not getting out of the “ghettos”.
drug and alcohol binges... about the same for blacks and whites. blacks are 1% higher for drugs, 3% higher alcohol-related crimes for whites. yet, blacks are arrested 2x more than whites for drugs.
for the same crime, POC are sentenced 19% longer time periods than whites and are 2x more likely to get prison time over community service. judges themselves have admitted this! 65% given life without parole for NON-violent crimes are black.
if you would like references, i will gladly provide it. all of this, and you ask why blacks lash out. not condoning crime, just showing that there is a reason why the black population is predominant in jails.
