Originally posted by seer View PostJim of course there is a disparity with blacks, they have the highest crime rates in the country so there is more opportunity for things to go wrong. And whites are much more likely to have bad interactions with cops, or killed by cops, than Asians. Is that a racial thing?Last edited by JimL; 05-31-2020, 02:03 PM.

Originally posted by JimL View PostThey have the highest crime rates for the same reason that whites living in poverty have higher crime rates than whites not living in poverty. But we're talking about the disparity in the treatment of blacks by police, and by the justice system in general, compared to that of whites, not the crime rates.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.

Originally posted by seer View PostNonsense Jim, blacks are 13% of the population yet commit 51% of murders and eight more times likely to rob than whites. So accounting for the disparity in crime we account for the disparity in treatment. Again more crime, more interaction with the police, hence more things to go wrong.
