it's no meme it's fact but not all whites a racist..another false bias comparison !I am so OVER this debate about Nature and Nurture. There is no doubt that the entrapment of groups in Welfare Poverty creates an environment where the idle get into lawlessness. But what is the real history of that? Labour Unions for one which had laws in place against "cheap labour"......meaning no poor blacks need apply. So to the welfare trap......why on earth would one take up a job which paid less than welfare and was unreliable. One can whine all one wants about the evil law enforcers, but the true sources of the disparities of opportunity are liberal repressive policies. Of course they are well intentioned; using other people's money always is. But the OUTCOME is devastating to self respect. Without that, dear reader, the slide into criminal conduct is a short cone away.
But make NO MISTAKE: being trapped in the welfare cycle is no excuse for criminal conduct; it simply makes the options of criminality more appealing. The responsibility for criminal actions remain solely with the perpetrator!!

Why would you want the data to get in the road of your "white racist society" meme??
Regressions of admission rates on
men’s labor market outcomes indicates the negative effects of wages and employment
on black men’s incarceration, and the negative effects hourly wages
for white men. ......
Incarceration might be connected to economic inequality in two main
ways. Rising inequality may increase crime at the bottom of the social hierarchy,
generating more arrests, convictions, and prison admissions. Thus
Richard Freeman (1996) argued that young black men turned to crime in
response declining job opportunities through the 1980s and 1990s. Troy
Duster (1997), similarly claims that the collapse of legitimate employment
in poor urban neighborhoods drew young black men into the illegal drug
trade, steeply increasing their risks of arrest and incarceration. For sociologists
of punishment, criminal law functions not just to control crime, but
also to contain marginal populations that are perceived as threatening by
elites and voters. The direct link between contemporary economic inequality
and punishment was forcefully claimed by Lo¨ıc Wacquant. Like Freeman and
Duster, Wacquant (2000) sees recent growth in the penal system as closely
connected to the decline of urban labor markets in the later postwar period.
In Wacquant’s analysis, the “prisonization of the ghetto” represents just the
latest form of institutionalized white supremacy—a social response to the
demise of the ghetto as an economically viable, yet controlling, institution in
the lives of African Americans.
Economic Inequality and the Rise in U.S. Imprisonment
I am on very firm ground indeed.

your lame assessment that liberal programs are to blame is the oldest racist conservative ploy there is.
So you have no argument except that it's not what you want to think? lmao
OK: tell me what are the causes according to daws?? Who knows: there may be common ground yet.

I don't think he's here to argue. I think he's here to troll. You should check out his response to my most recent argument in this post. I responded in good faith with a well thought out argument and he replied by not addressing anything I said.
