The better question isn't why so many minorities are on welfare no the better question is why are so many people are on it to begin with either white or black.

Oh, so it's about prior convictions? That's it? And you have a link to back that up?

Well?

Well?

Thought so.

Here are the stats for California.

"According to a 2004 report from the Justice Policy Institute, African Americans make up 6.5% of California's population, nearly 30 % of the prison population, 36 % of second strikers, and 45% of third strikers (Racial Divide An Examination of the Impact of California's Three Strike Law on African-Americans and Latinos, by Scott Ehlers, Vincent Schiraldi, and Eric Lotke)."
CRIME RATE AND CONVICTION RATES BROKEN DOWN BY RACE

There is no evidence there is racism in criminal sentencing.

blacks more likely to receive longer sentences

blacks more likely to be convicted

blacks more likely to be wrongfully convicted

Clearly this dumb fuck doesn't know how to use Google. Here I did some searches for you dumb fuck. Come back after you learn something.

I know how to use google, I am not going to look through it though.

We have already established on average blacks received stricter sentencing, you are just repeating yourself.

The question is, why?


"Backing up this bias claim has been the holy grail of criminology for decades—and the prize remains as elusive as ever. In 1997, criminologists Robert Sampson and Janet Lauritsen reviewed the massive literature on charging and sentencing. They concluded that “large racial differences in criminal offending,” not racism, explained why more blacks were in prison proportionately than whites and for longer terms. A 1987 analysis of Georgia felony convictions, for example, found that blacks frequently received disproportionately lenient punishment. A 1990 study of 11,000 California cases found that slight racial disparities in sentence length resulted from blacks’ prior records and other legally relevant variables. A 1994 Justice Department survey of felony cases from the country’s 75 largest urban areas discovered that blacks actually had a lower chance of prosecution following a felony than whites did and that they were less likely to be found guilty at trial. Following conviction, blacks were more likely to receive prison sentences, however—an outcome that reflected the gravity of their offenses as well as their criminal records.

Another criminologist—easily as liberal as Sampson—reached the same conclusion in 1995: “Racial differences in patterns of offending, not racial bias by police and other officials, are the principal reason that such greater proportions of blacks than whites are arrested, prosecuted, convicted and imprisoned,” Michael Tonry wrote in Malign Neglect. (Tonry did go on to impute malign racial motives to drug enforcement, however.) The media’s favorite criminologist, Alfred Blumstein, found in 1993 that blacks were significantly underrepresented in prison for homicide compared with their presence in arrest."

The Color of Crime

Intelligence is ahuge factor in welfare usage, regardless of race. Dull people have a hard ttime supporting themselves.

Black ghettos and white trailer parks are doubly disadvantaged because they have fewer positve role models and mentors.

All of the "environmental" factors have been discussed here, but this question can't be understood without acknowledging that American blacks have an average IQ of about 85, two standard deviations below the mean. As someone has said, "Life is an IQ test".
