Originally posted by thomasglassThe situation in Baltimore, and the shooting death of a suspect in Detroit, by a black ICE officer, puts the matter in focus. Should we be looking at just white cops, or is the question of police misconduct or over reaction toward suspects regardless of race?

Originally posted by twhiteheadStatistics can be misleading, intentionally so, especially to those viewing them from afar.
However, when looking at statistics, it becomes blatantly obvious that there is institutional racism in the way the police for carries out its work and in the way the police are punished or not when they commit certain acts, and in the way the justice system treats suspects.

Originally posted by twhiteheadStatistics can, in context, illuminate things. Was racism, institutional racism greater in the 40s, 50s and early 60s, before civil rights legislation, and with Jim Crowe laws in full force, or now?

[b]I think the argument that institutional racism accounts for disproportional rates of arrest and incarceration is preposterous on its face. Half a century ago, there was far greater institutional racism in all parts of the US. Yet, black cr ...[text shortened]... rampant arrests of young black men for crimes that young white men would never be arrested for.

Originally posted by twhiteheadAnyone living in the US now would laugh at you and the assertion that institutional racism is worse in the 21st century than in the middle of the 20th. if you need statistics,, then you're too far away and not really interested, as I'm not about what goes on in Zambia or S. Africa.

Originally posted by twhiteheadI am saying that you don't know what's going on in America, and I don't know much about S. Africa. Withe the internet it ought to be easy enough for you to research the data you seek. I don't feel obliged to provide statistical evidence of what is obvious to most people who live her.
So your only evidence is other peoples laughter?

I don't understand? I am too far away for statistics? What does Zambia or S. Africa have to do with it?
Statistics are also not required as your claim was that ...[text shortened]... ed to interpret data from S. Africa.
What are you on about? I said nothing about S. Africa.[/b]
