You actually think there's a question about that???
Try 'driving while black' sometime, and then let us know how law
enforcement in this country isn't racist.

Don't get me started.
Try getting mugged, raped or having a loved one mardered. Then you
can tell me that the law enforcement system is too hard on criminals.
I've been a crime victim several times . . . . I have a right to judge
by what my eyes tell me.
Based on personal experience, stats, looking at police photos, etc.,
there is no question that young black males make up a disproportionate
per centage of the violent crime population.
Several years ago I read a scary statistic: that in Washinigton, DC,
a city which is mostly black, with a black government and a black
police force, about 30% of the black men in that city had been
arrested and/or charged and/or convicted of some crime. That is not
racism. That is reality.
How does that compare with other racial groups in similar economic
situations? How does that compare with black men in different economic
situations? Statistics are meaningless without context.
And the rich white men plundering this country and the rest of the world?
They have more opportunity so they take more than any petty crimes. Is
there a real statistic that shows how many of them there are and how much it
costs?
Yeah, big surprise that fatt is showing even more prejudice here.
