>>105024827Blacks are arrested more because they get into more criminal encounters. They have drugs found on them more because more police around them are active, which in turn is because more crimes are being reported and committed in their vicinity. You can't account for crimes that haven't been stopped yet, and that doesn't invalidate the overrepresentation of blacks in convictions.
The criminal justice system is broken-and in some cases, racially discriminative, yes-but there is still an enormous problem on the part of blacks. This isn't a controversial statement.
>>105025034I admitted responsibility on the part of legislation, and I'm far from a fan of Nixon's era of politics. The crack/cocaine epidemic in particular was appalling on that front. But none of that changes the fact that blacks, numerous decades later, are still committing as obscene a level of crime as they are. Their community is going to have to take accountability for itself if it ever wants to get out of the dires it's in.
