Incarceration rates are a result of crimes committed. They are not the results of racial bias.
“Black prison rates result from crime, not racism.” In paragraph 4 of “Is the criminal Justice
System Racist?” by Heather Mac Donald. “1990’s, to which stricter sentencing…. Freed thousands of law-abiding Inner-city residents from the bondage of fear.” Stop making everything about race just because Barack Obama (a black male) charged that blacks and whites “are arrested at very different rates, are convicted at very different rates, [and] receive very different sentences… for the same crime.” Lets just get down to the point and say he had to agree with the black community to get votes. It was the only way he would ever become president. …show more content…
Do not sit here and tell me that White Americans get more advantage because we have more money! Take a look at EBT/government funding. How many Black, Whites, and Hispanics are receiving those funds? (I would not know because like I said, “I can’t research this topic.”) It isn’t like a black male gets arrested and does not get put out on bond because everyone has that right. It’s just whether you can pay that bond or how bad the crime was that you committed is. All races of people live in poverty, live in public housing, and all have uneducated people who live off others. The color of a person’s skin does not dictate how they will live, what crimes they commit or what punishment they will have. Some people (regardless of skin color) will never want to rise above the level to complete their worth. Ever heard “If you hang around trash, you start smelling like it?” People of every skin color and background have to rise above at some point. Unless they were born into royalty. Like that story, 1 Father and 2 Sons. The Father is an alcoholic, has no job, no education, and is living off of government funds. One son goes to colleges, gets married, has a job and has never touched alcohol. While the other son turned out just like the father. It’s the way you look at life. It is the way you perceive it. Rise above what you were raised in and don’t make things about race. Rise above the stereotype and start making new ones. …show more content…
A white young lady sitting in a classroom that is half white and half black. Do not call me racist, do you think I would be sitting in a classroom full of black people if I were? Lets leave the Criminal Justice system alone and move to the real world. Where things are happening that are actually true, actually hurting people. I am sitting in a classroom that is making me feel bad about things that happened 100 years ago. I did not hang your family, I did not whip you, I was not a “cracker”, I did not make your ancestor's/family sell you for liquor and smokes. Blacks also owned slaves, but we don’t discuss this in our history lessons. We only teach generation after generation to “hate the whites”. So do not try and make me feel responsible about it every year that I am in school! Do not make me have to feel as if I need to lower my intelligence to make you black people look and feel better about yourselves. Keep talking about it, with ½ truths and this world will never move forward. Like MLK, In also have a dream! My dream is that one day blacks will stop using history as a crutch, and stop blaming others. I dream that one day we will all rise above this hate. Moving back onto the Criminal Justice System, you don’t ever see a white on white conflict or a black on black. What we see is whites on blacks but never blacks on whites. We don’t see the hate that is spewed from blacks on to whites.
