More whites use illegal drugs More blacks are arrested for using illegal drugs. Does that make sense? No. This is correct. But just to clarify, a larger percentage of blacks use drugs than whites. Not sure if this has been said before, but it's very often that blacks are targeted by police. I have read that it's common for blacks to be pulled over at night without the police officer giving a reason (I assume they do this to search the car.) Indeed, racial profiling is an immense issue. It's partially to blame for the skewed statistics being seen.

It's funny that you say that because my father is a cop.

Can we at least agree that humans are humans, and no matter what color our skin is we will always be humans, and that every human is different. Some humans have similar personalities, yet all are different, and we have no right to discriminate against any group of people?

Are you saying that I have no right to have an opinion?

Are you saying that I have no right to have an opinion? Who said that? Generally, being polite, you don't have the right to infringe upon others' rights. That was the point being made.

The fact that you signed up yesterday and came straight to this thread is interesting.

Well, don't blame it on your race. It has nothing to do with that, but instead, it has everything to do with the people committing the crimes.

Are you saying that I have no right to have an opinion? You've got rights to an opinion, and I can't infringe on them. All I'm saying is that we're all human, and we no groups of humans such as ethnicities aren't much different from the ethnicity group you're in, and I'm in, and anyone else is in. Crime is something every ethnicity contributes to, and it will never be any different.

No, I agree. Not all criminals are black. That would be a foolish statement. However, African Americans are way more likely to commit a crime or end up in jail. Wouldn't it be better if they were expunged from society (I am not saying that I will kill them all. I would never kill one. Just making that clear). More whites use illegal drugs More blacks are arrested for using illegal drugs. Does that make sense? No. ya them negros aint tricky enough and sneaky lol

My father brings in more African Americans than any other race and they are a minority. What does this tell you about the percentage of African Americans that are doing wrong?

My father brings in more African Americans than any other race and they are a minority. What does this tell you about the percentage of African Americans that are doing wrong? Again, you are completely dodging the source of the problem: WHY are these African Americans becoming criminals? It isn't their genetics, obviously. The source of the problem generally comes down to two things: 1. Living conditions 2. Racial profiling It's unfortunate that a lot of police officers are more likely to arrest a black man for possessing cocaine than a white man selling it. I'm unsure if your father subconsciously does this or not. Now, on the other hand, how can you expect criminals to be (as you put it) "normal" when they are raised in conditions that practically breed criminals?

Just because someone has black skin it doesn't mean that they will end up this way. I am simply pointing out that a HIGH PERCENTAGE of this group turn out on the lower rung of society.
My father claims that he doesn't racial profile. I hope this is true. I would hate to hear that he is going out and busting a particular group.

Then what, may I ask, is your argument? What is your point at all? You hate black people, you advocate their genocide, yet you say it has nothing to do with them being black whatsoever?

Well birds of a feather flock together. I'm pretty sure it's no coincidence that African Americans are the most imprisoned race. There is no "criminal gene", but it still seems like they tend to be the ones most in trouble. I suppose their dark skin is an influence.
