    You'll be waiting, for what, to ignore my link?

    http://kff.org/disparities-policy/state-indicator/incarceration-rate/

    I'm sure you'll address it as all my past links have been addressed.

    I agree, I've noticed they are more honest about it, and I think I know why...I've seen black people complain about "crackers", and the white devil holding them down in front of white people, and the white people just act like they don't hear them...and I've seen black people kick the crap out of a white person because they THOUGHT the white person said something racist. Sure, there are exceptions to the rule, but I choose to believe my "lying eyes". I'll never forget the video on youtube where some mexican dude tried to have a rational discussion about the george zimmerman trial, and he said "Zimmerman had a right to defend himself", and 3 black dudes kick the snot out of him. Let's face it - black trash resorts to violence at the drop of a hat, just like white trash, but I've noticed a white person is far less likely to jump somebody over the word cracker, than a black person over that other word. Maybe it is because of slavery, but regardless, at some point people have to let go of the past and move on. I bet you wouldn't go into Chicago or Detroit in the middle of the night and go tell these poor black people how much you commend them for being so open of their racism of whites, and I hope you don't, because whether you are willing to admit it or not, if you did do that, you wouldn't be around to reply to this post.

    Some are and as we see black men released everyday after spending countless years for crimes they didn't commit.

    Well wake up, dead horse.

    No, I said Asians haven't been subjected to the racism that black folks have in the Justice System which has led to high incarceration rates.

    s

    The word "cracker" doesn't have the same negative meaning historically as the N word. You know, and I know it.

    Not saying I condone violence, but I could understand why a black person would be more pissed at a white person calling him or her the N word, then the other way around.

    LoL. That's it?

    The link isn't four decades old.

    What makes you think Asian incarceration rates jumped five fold to match White levels in the span of six years?

    n. noun
    1.Used as a disparaging term for a member of the white rural laboring class, especially in the southern United States.

    2.A white person regarded as having a provincial, conservative, often bigoted attitude

    3.The term Redneck is chiefly used for a poor rural white person of the Southern United States. It can be a derogatory slang term similar in meaning to cracker

    Dude does that sound race netural to you, I supose you think Cauasian means White Too! Dude use a dictionary once in a while!!

    Actually you have a good point if a person was allowed to speak their mind then it would be easier to tell the racist from the politicans!

    Just to let you know a lot of people do consider it a thug sport already and that's why they don't watch it! And the only clear double standards are in your mind!

    Hey after hours stay after class and do your homework, history tells us democrats ( left- wingers) were more racist in the past ( who do you think started the KKK)! And if truth be told even today if democrats weren't trying to win votes they would drop the PC act and show their true faces!

    JJ do your homework before commenting on something you know nothing about! First let me say it was tragic what happened and if Zimmermann is quilty then he should hang! However the boyish picture the main streem media choise to use of Trayvon was him at 12 yrs old, then he had school records covered up for criminal acts even when the incdent happend he was out on suppension for what should have landed him in jail. they also found drug paraphernalia, burglary tool and lots of unexplained jewerly in his bag! then all the social media he put out there in photos and text self proclaiming him self to be a violent thug! Then there is Zimmermann who worked sometimes up to three jobs, did community work, and even protested the mistreatment of a black suspect while doing a ride along! his two violent incidences before the Trayvon shooting incidence, both in 2005 one he shoved an undercover alcohol - control agent for grabbing his under age drinking friend, second was his ex-fiancee filed a restraining order on him and he filed one on her right back seemed like run of the mill domestic squable and that was his violent past before Trayvon!

    Just to let you know as a white guy I've always concidered Bieber a punk, thug, and all around troubled boy from the start. On the other hand I was for Serman after I saw the push to his face mask, but when he started crying foul so loudly I stepped away and gave it not one more thought until now!

    I look at it like this. The original N-word was based on skin color and a person had no choice in the matter. Thug however is a label that is brought on by choice through a persons actions. You would never hear a person like Morgan Freeman called a thug but a few racist people may call him the N-word.

    So...if the shoe fits wear it.

    I was intending to go through all 52 pages of this thread because I find it interesting to see what makes people invent a new way to claim a word or phrase to be racist. Then on about page 16 it hit me when a thread about a sports figure being called a thug gets to 52 pages, there are those that as I put it eariler have racist brain the see racism everywhere, lurking behind every street corner, on every roof top, and in every gutter of America! If we look for things to seperate us ( the use of the word thug) we will be divided and week, but if we look for things to bring us together( the love of the sport ) we stand untied and strong!

    Yes, I understand this, but you claimed in an earlier post that I have not heard Blacks calling each other the N word.

    No such website as www.DOJstats.com.

    Happens to Whites too. The system is not perfect. Luckily DNA testing is preventing a lot of false imprisonment, and like you said, releasing the innocent.
