I snipped this from the above article.....
More than one in four people arrested for drug law violations in 2015 was black, although drug use rates do not differ substantially by race and ethnicity and drug users generally purchase drugs from people of the same race or ethnicity.15) For example, the ACLU found that blacks were 3.7 times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than whites in 2010, even though their rate of marijuana usage was comparable.
First, let me begin by saying....
Why state more than 1, out of 4...
why not 2, 3, out of 4...thats misleading right there
Secondly, to conclude racial bias
because more blacks are arrested than whites,
for drug law violations, based on the premises,....
that generally, drug users purchase drugs
from those of the same race or ethnicity
and that drug usage, among race
is comparable across-the-board....
Is racially biased, in itself.
Just because marijuana usage is comparable
between blacks and whites, doesnt prove racial bias,
simply because more blacks are arrested for possession....
To me, it suggests, white people aren't caught as often,
with arrestable amounts of weed on them,....
so, how does that make the arrest rates biased?
If the %'s by race, within the population,
are used to conclude racial bias,
why are not those same %'s used to justify,
the higher arrest rate for blacks vs whites?
Why is there no one crying foul,
that blacks are being arrested and incarcerated,
for breaking laws, yet, people in this country, illegally,
are being feed, housed, given cash assistance, working,
and being protected in sanctuary cities
Breaking the law is breaking the law
Selling drugs is easy money and profitable
You can make more money, tax free,
in a single day, than working 40 hrs a week
6 million crimes were committed by those,
who make up 200 million, of the population
3 million crimes were committed by those,
who make up 30 million, of the population
Are more blacks sitting in jail, because of their color?
