I reckon that if the jails are filled with more blacks that any other race, the judicial system must be harsher on blacks. As far as arrest, 70% of all arrests made are white people while about 27% are black (FBI data). Sure it may be that in some areas, police have it in for blacks, but overall, there are far more white people getting arrested. If the jails do not reflect this, there is a problem. So basally, when it comes to committing a crime, we should be more suspicious of whites.

I'm getting really sick of this kind of ****. The answer is NO, unless someone can provide scientific evidence of some gene that is in direct correlation with darker skin pigmentations that directly causes people to break laws. Laws which, If I may add, are a bit younger than DNA codes by a few thousand years. I want to stay optimistic about the future of people; it's difficult when I see people who don't even recognize racism & people who instigate racially fueled arguments...and for what reason purpose? As far as racist cops go, that is strictly on a cop to cop basis. If your going to start labeling all cops as racist that puts you at the same level as a racist. How? You both judge a book by it's cover. You can't just label a whole population like that!!... Well, I suppose you could, but it would be an ignorant & irrational judgment devoid of merit.

oh so you want to step on toes do you?

one race is not 'more criminal ' than another.

Some people have been given more opportunities, some oppressed, some get access to the best schools , others not, some get good jobs others get the left overs. are certain races 'hunted' by cops , you bet they are .the cops are people too and can be racist as well.

I Believe that Police go after Black People more then white people I guess it's in their blood & it's wrong..All people should be treated equal reguardless of their color or race.Even white people cause alot of problems I guess it depends who your dealing with at that moment but yes the black person is hunted more then anyone else & that's a crying shame but if you really wanted to change that you could by staying out of trouble.Hope this helped you.Good Luck

hunted by cops than others. cause they think that 'if a crime was done, an african american was involved'. i'm not saying all of cops do it but in the back of their head, they do it. i think its anybody, jus african americans always get caught. i know some sididy (i hope i spelled that right) white people who are on drugs, having illegal sex, etc. and never get caught but the african americans do. go figure. another thing is, the music african americans promote is saying that they do do drugs and drink and all that, so thats another reason why they would think its always us
Babidawl is right. white people do get letted off quicker than blacks. and they dont go to rehab after they get through

Naw. It depends on the individual. If you flip out and go berserk doing crimes, you gotta serve your time. Anyone. Not just blacks. Nowadays white and black mothers are drowning their own kids, white and black and others are robbing and selling drugs. Black people feel oppressed with the law, but in most cases that is not racist, it only depends on the crime, not the color of skin.

you in basic terms want "white" human beings to respond to? Why? have they have been given some take on the gadget that no-one else has? Your question is already geared for a definite answer. Hispanics belong to the "white" race, as a results of fact they are seen area of the Caucasoid race. Hispania replaced into the older call for Spain, so their lineage could be traced lower back to Spain, provided they have achieved traced their kinfolk tree. i'm undecided how that makes them a minority. So why shop tabs on who's first, who's 2d in top-rated the minorities? Does it count? no count if or no longer they are seen "minorities" is valueless education to me. i'm 0.5 Anglo/0.5 Filipino. Who cares. the respond relies upon on the region, inhabitants, time, etc. Are "you" greater criminal? i does no longer be conscious of. in basic terms you are able to answer that. Asking me to generalize with an answer to a generalized question is slanted. only like all different occupation, there are constantly going to be unscrupulous human beings. that isn't any distinctive with the police. There are people who concentration on blacks in basic terms. Do i think of each and every cop available is like that? No. i think of a few do bust criminals who take place to be black. they are able to't help it that the criminal they are arresting is black. could they make concessions for criminals who're black? does no longer that be appearing with prejudice? yet i be conscious of it exists. Do i think of it somewhat is the explanation why you declare there are greater blacks in jails? i does no longer be conscious of. i haven't surveyed each and every reformatory in u . s ., so i'm no longer able to respond to that question.

I guess it depends. I do think that cops do pick on black people more than white people. I have seen a group of white kids standing outside of McDonald's and not one cop stop to ask questions. I drive down further and see a group of black kids standing outside of Burger King...cops stop and tell them to leave. Its crazy...but true. That's just how it is. I wish it wasn't. My father is Chief of Police and he used to tell me all kinds of corruption that went down in law enforcement.

yes on certain crimes, mayube things like burglary, but whites do alot, too. when you look at serial crimes like rape, and bombings, and ect. u see whites doing it. blks are only ;projected like that in the media. also i was told (from a white guy, not blk) that he was reading that puttin ppl oin prison is a major business. blks may have more drugs like coke and week, where the whites have meth and herion, and the times on certain drugs are different i believe. i could be wrong. blks are not more criminal, but society would have u think it.
