All the kids I tell that to succeed. The ones that havent got the message are the ones that seem to be struggling. I'm going on my 9th academic scholarship earning kid. I have about 7 I have put into the IT field. Its like I have the Midas touch. They understand what they are up against (white racism) and they have the tools to deal with it.
Black people get harsher prison sentences than whites for the exact same crimes. Black people are
segregated into poor communities with underfunded schools. People with
black-sounding names are less likely to get a job than white counterparts with the same experience.
And on-and-on-and-on.
Yet you’ll find white apologists everywhere who will
see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil of the racial caste system under which their black brothers and sisters are forced to live. They
refuse to acknowledge it, get angry when you bring it up and will actively support it at the polls.
That’s racism, people.
I have looked at all the data and while it is not true everywhere, there is evidence that black people are overall stopped, searched, arrested, convicted at a somewhat higher percentage rate than white people and do overall receive somewhat longer sentences. How much of this can be attributed to racism and how much attributed to concentrations of black people in poorer, more crime ridden neighborhoods is more difficult to determine, but I leave open the possibility/probability that some racism is involved.
It is also true that women are searched, arrested, and convicted at a lower percentage rate than men and are more likely to receive a less severe sentence than men. Wealthy, well known, well connected people are treated differently than the poor people regardless of color. So what do we make of that?
For sure it warrants investigation and correction. We cannot ignore or tolerate inequities in government at any level.
But one thing has nothing to do with another.
This thread is not about inequities in the criminal justice system but it is about what needs to happen among the black demographic to break repeating cycles of poverty, under education, violence, criminal activity and a mentality that creates all of that.
The leftists among us will probably go to their graves refusing to even look at the possibility that social liberalism has played a part in creating that cycle of poverty, under education, violence, criminal activity, and a mentality that creates all of that.
