    Actually labeling his rant as "thuggish" was not justified and lets stop playing games you know that in place of the Nword, Thug was inserted.

    It didn't sound like that too me.

    He was ranting because he and Crabtree had been jawing at each other since back in the summer. That was just the icing on the cake and that punk has a Superbowl Ring.

    Not racist. It is all based on social/economic factors and a breakdown in family, morals and values that leads to a higher rate of crime. This is just found at a higher rate among Blacks than Whites. Please read this.

    I am not a dumbass.

    What a joke, if whites are committing more crimes why wouldn't they have a higher incarceration rate. Especially when it comes to drugs, whites are put in rehab while blacks are sent to prison.

    Well you said its ok for anyone to use it.

    the judicial system has been found guilty by independent enquiries of being racist. that is not an argument. the argument is why is western judiciary still allowed to be corrupted as such in the modern age?

    There is a difference between total numbers and rate. More Whites are in the prison population, however, the rate per 100,000 of the population is higher with Blacks. A higher percentage of Blacks commit crimes more than Whites. It is what it is.

    No, I said that hearing it used by Blacks makes it seem acceptable. I never said it was OK.

    Why do Asians have lower incarceration rates than Whites if the system is racist?

    Maybe incarceration rates reflect the lower IQ blacks have compared to whites?

    Sorry, that is not true. Whites commit almost 68% of all crimes committed in this country, blacks commit 28%. Yet blacks make up 42.5% or those incarcerated and whites make up 34%.



    So what is the difference between acceptable and ok?

    Could it be because Asians have never been subjected to the same type of racism in this country that black folks have. Higher IQ, please tell me what you have invented or discovered that has contributed to today's society.

    Where is your link to these numbers? You may be correct, but not all crimes committed result in incarceration.

    Drop it already...beating a dead horse.

    So, racism is an excuse to commit crimes?

    I really can't believe you said that. The problem with most racists is that they don't think they are racist.

    I'm comparing Asian incarceration rates to Whites, not Blacks.

    How is it Asians have lower incarceration rates than Whites when you claim the racist justice system is why Blacks have higher incarceration rates.

    Asians burst your correlation bubble.

    Otherwise, they would have higher incarceration rates than Whites. Unless you're claiming Asians experience less discrimination than Whites.

    What makes you think that Blacks have not called each other the N-word, and that I have not heard it? Reallly, this is childish of you.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I know that using the N-word is unacceptable, and it should be unacceptable to be used by anyone, including Blacks.

    DOJ Stats. What are the majority of black folks in prison for?

    Thats your answer.

    I don't believe I have ever made an excuse for anyone committing crime. How about you?

    - - - Updated - - -

    I am speaking of black incarcerations as compared to whites.

    What is the % of asians in this country?

    Go back and try that again, it makes no sense.

    That's horse (*)(*)(*)(*). It is exactly playing the race card. Labeling his rant as "thuggish" was not justified, but it was understandable beyond some ridiculous notion that it was all because he's black. Seriously, it's ridiculous.

    Well, too me it did...and it had nothing to do with his skin color.

    Sure, and he earned his super bowl ring, in spite of being a childish punk in that instance.

    So, you don't think that publicly accepted use of a word legitimizes it's use?

    Seriously, the idea that a racist may not know that they are racist is utterly idiotic. "Oh, the poor bigot just doesn't realize that he judges people based on race and is favorable to one race and unfavorable to another." That's nonsense. Racists are racist and they know it. People that refer to black people in general specifically based on their race are racists. People that refer to white people in the same general sense are also racists. It's not complicated, but at the end of the day most people are not racist unless they are taught to be.

    For the record, anyone using ANY word to represent race is ignorant AND a racist.

    What the hell was understandable about it, I am still waiting on someone to tell me what part was thuggish.


    Well too many folks who complained it did have to do with his color.

    Childish punk, are you freakin kidding me.

    Are you even capable of simple logic?

    Your argument has two premises:

    1) Blacks face more discrimination than Whites (A).
    2) Blacks have higher crime rates than Whites due to A.

    Therefore, I refute your correlation if I show another population that experiences more discrimination than Whites (A), but actually has lower crime rates than Whites.

    You'd have to be brain dead not to understand such basic logical reasoning.



    That doesn't matter. We're looking at rates. What don't you understand about basic statistics?



    It makes perfect sense unless you're statistically innumerate and can't follow a line of logic.

    If Blacks have higher crime rates than Whites because they experience more 'discrimination', then why don't Asians have higher crime rates than Whites because they also experience higher discrimination?

    You'd have to be brain dead not to understand the above line of logic.

    You'd have be to undereducated not to understand your correlation is refuted.

    When I see it I am, but this BS you are posting is not logical.

    Actually black folks have a higher incarceration rate because of racist folks like yourself being allowed to sit on juries.

    Your hoping I am brain dead so that I don't see the racism in the Justice System today.



    If it doesn't matter what did you bring Asians into the equation for?




    Again black folks have a higher incarceration rate because of discrimination, what part of that aren't you understand since you claim to be so logical.

    You haven't refuted anything, you are basically throwing ish at the wall and hoping it sticks.

    Please post them.

    Crimes.

    Yes, you are beating a dead horse.

    You said that Asians have not been treated like Blacks, implying that racism led to Blacks commiting crime.

    Did you even rad the post by any chance?

    If discrimination results in higher incarceration rates, then why don't Asians have higher incarceration rates than Whites?

    Do Asians experience more racism than Whites in the US?

    Yes or no?

    If yes, then Asians should have higher incarceration rates, based off your logic.

    What part of such simple logic don't you understand?






    Their population doesn't matter as we're talking about rates of offense.

    How do you not understand simple statistics?






    LoL. You are beyond the pale.

    So why don't Asians have higher incarceration rates?

    Do they experience less discrimination than Whites?

    Who says black people can't be racist? They most certainly can, and they are more honest about their racism compared to conservatives. I commend them for that.

    Even if some have, you know that there is a difference between a white person calling himself a cracker, and a person of another race calling him a cracker, right?
    Same thing applies to blacks, hispanics.....when they make fun of themselves it may be sarcasm, it may be an inside joke, or they may be making fun of the people that use that term....but when a person of a different race calls a white a "cracker" or a black person "n-word" you know they are saying it out of malice and hate....and that is the difference. If you don't understand that, then you are the one that is childish.





    Read my answer above, again....:)

    And you think that some words are "publicly accepted"?

    No, it isn't. I have friends that claim they are not racist, then proceed to tell me how "blacks are this or that" generalizing every single black person into the person that they have used for their opinion on all blacks. That's being racist without realizing it.
    Many on this board here, want to discriminate against blacks, use other reasons, and then claim they are not racist.




    Perhaps many of them that pretend they are not, do know it and are just not comfortable with being called racist so they will continue to deny that fact. But, you can't tell me that generalizing people of a different race into specific negative modes and then claim you are not racist just because you might have "one" friend that is of that race is not being racist.

    I agree with that, but there are many here that will challenge you on that statement and claim they use the word but are not racist.

    Do you have a link that shows that Asians have a lower rate than whites? The rule here is that if you make a statement, you need to support it with facts (link), and you keep trying to make a point, but you have not shown that Asians do indeed have a lower rate. So, please post your link.

    I'll be waiting.....:)
