Uh, usually - you know, if you're a normal person with a functioning IQ - if you have a problem with how the data was gathered then you don't agree with the data. So which is it, BiJane? Do you agree with the data or not? I'm tired of this weird duplicity coming from you.
In regards to all your questions, I don't know. I never claimed to know what your data suggests, but that doesn't change the fact that you're speculating about it. Because you are, your flight of fancy is pure speculation and if you deny that then you're just fooling yourself at that point.
The fact is: even if I don't know... that doesn't mean it's racism. Just like fucking aliens, I could see a UFO and not know what it is... but that doesn't mean it's fucking aliens, does it?
I've explained that there are far more poor black people than other races. Which explains higher crime rates, which leads to repeat offenders, which leads to stricter sentencing. The American Justice system is a bit different from the UK version, wouldn't you say?
Sentencing disparities could be due to the fact that many of them are repeat offenders (because most of them have be doing crime their whole lives). It's also worth noting, since more black people commit crimes (because there's more poor black people), they are going to get thrown in prison more often than other races. This is basic logical deduction, c'mon now.
The difference in employment rates is most likely due to reliance on the welfare system (which I've explained like 60 times now, why are you asking again???). More poor black people = more black people relying on the government to feed them, which breeds laziness, combine that with extreme poverty and living in a ghetto and you've got a recipe for crime.
What is your explanation for arrest rates for non-violent crimes, such as drug offences, where white and black people use at a similar rate, and yet black people are arrested for more?
Hmm, well... white and black people don't use at a similar rate. I don't know where you got that data. All the data I've shown you suggests that black people deal drugs at a higher rate than white people. And when I say "deal drugs", I mean "deal drugs" on a street corner level. Which is far easier to get caught doing. White people who deal drugs usually have money and influence, while the black community (who are woefully stricken with poverty) do not, so they don't have the same pull that a leader of a drug cartel would have. There are many white people with money committing crimes and not getting caught or simply getting away with it because they have enormous influence, it's organized crime. That's not to say there aren't any black people doing the same - there's just less of them.
I'm speculating a bit, but this comes from personal experience. I've lived in many cities around many ghettos, and I know how these things work. That being said, this last question is the only one that really makes me think, the others are easily explainable.
