Mass Incarcerations of African Americans in the US

A little while ago, I was doing some research for my own edification, and I came across an article that completely change my perception of the subject. Read the article in the link. Pay special attention to the maps. Then tell me what you think.

Report Highlights ‘Staggering’ Racial Disparities in U.S. Incarceration Rates (usnews.com)

 

looks like the crimes committed by white people are not prosecuted as intensely nor punished so severely as those committed by blacks .

 

I think there is not enough information there to draw any conclusions.

 

What makes it look that way?

 

every 5 minutes my telephone rings with a fraudulent "offer." if new prisons were built for these people to serve at hard labor i would support the project.

 

So you are not able to qualify your previous statement?

 

Every one check your shoes.... don't drag this into the house.

 

let me back up, @Doofenshmirtz . do you think that 5 times as many blacks as whites commit criminal acts?

 

Those are international crimes..

 

Propositional, YES!

 

How about you qualifying your statement first?

 

so how about we defund the fbi and let our local sheriffs raid the call center in india or wherever you guys think the constitution allows? lord knows we should NEVER work with interpol or other corrupt international organizations to stop this!.

 

Now do men. 90% of the incarcerated population are men. Tell me what you think.

 

We have no jurisdiction beyond the U.S. And HEY, I hate it too! Just do as I do, get a stadium air horn, talk real low, and then BLAST the bujesus out of them when they raise their headphone volume

Man can they swear in Engrish!!

 

we have no jurisdiction beyond the usa? please tell julian assange. or manuel noriaga. these "call centers" are being protected.

 

This is where systemic racism is shown. Black people are seven to eight times more likely to be falsely convicted of serious crimes than white people.

Of curse, the black population is generally poorer. Systemic racism makes it more difficult to raise in financial classes. I have looked and asked in this forum if there is statistical evidence that poor people commit more crimes. I haven't seen any, but if they do, that would also account for the data.

 

I believe a larger percentage of blacks commit crimes than do whites. I believe a larger percentage of men commit crimes than do women.

 

Those are, in fact, beliefs. Which may or may not be true. But there are no verifiable facts to tell us for sure
