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…
The article mentions that one in 33 black men were in prison, compared to one out of 205 white males and one in 79 Hispanics. Just because your race is the race that has the higher rate of being in prison does not mean that it is racist. It just means that 1 in every 33 blacks committed a crime that needed to be punished. 11% of black males between 20-34 are in prison or jail. So? What is the point. If that age group is the most common group to go to jail then that is not under the government's control. Do not blame anyone but yourselves for the crimes that you have committed. “1987 analysis of Georgia felony convictions, for example, found that blacks frequently received more lenient punishment.” Blacks are put out in the bondage of fear. Cops and judges fear blacks. Look around in Chicago riots are happening because of Trump being president. Do you see any white people? No you see white trash and uneducated blacks. Do people even know that there is a difference between Black people and Niggers; White trash and White people? Apparently not.
In the article “What it’s like to be Black…” Let's look at what it is like to be white. It says “Police arrest black Americans for drug crimes at twice the rate of Whites.” But what ignorant Americans don’t know is that White Americans also sell dope. I’d give you a more accurate rating but I am not allowed to research this topic on my laptop.
“Black defendants can not afford bail.” True or False?
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…
Stop using the color black as an excuse. Native Americans don’t have a national day of recognition for their past deaths and mistreatment by the world. Their is no day set aside for white history day, yet we spend an entire month on black history. If the color black is so horrible, why do we need a month to celebrate the history of a color. Why not celebrate all the great people of all the colors?
Let’s stop the race subject and move on to how this subject discriminates me.
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.
We for sure see it televised all over when a black person is arrested or someone goes against them. The end is that it will always make the white race look bad. Regardless of the situation.
The news makes things about race. It makes us turn against each other and I refuse to let that happen. Grow up and stop making life hard. It is not about race until you make it that way. So no I do not agree that the Criminal Justice System is racist or bias because it is not true. To be honest, you get what you get and you don’t throw a fit.
