"The Freddie Gray Six... half are black!"
This illustrates something else most on the right are clueless about: the African-American perception that black men are singled-out for police harassment and arrest; the problem isn't that conservatives reject this perception, which they're at liberty to do, but that conservatives refuse to even listen to the concerns of the African-American community to understand where the perception comes from, even if unwarranted.
Well it's called profiling i.e. stereotyping based on EXPERIENCES!
According to the FBI, in 2011, of the 197 million white people 6.58 million committed a crime.
Do Blacks Really Commit the Most Crimes TALKBACK4Teens
In 2013, the population of African Americans including those of more than one race was estimated at 45 million, making up 15.2% of the total U.S. population.
And of these 45 million blacks 2.7 million crimes were committed by blacks.
Total crimes by blacks and whites: 9.28 million of which nearly 30% committed by a population that constitutes less then 15% of the population! Blacks.
Any wonder there is a stereotype?
So there is a greater chance that the 24 year old black you see riding a bicycle down the street has done something in the past that if you were a cop would be wondering...hmmm why is a 24 year old black wearing his pants below his crack, riding fast away from the car after you saw him handing a person in a car something...hmm!
Oh and based on the Freddie Gray six... the chances are the cop is black!!!
