White Americans do the same crime and get less or not time

MORE WHITES USE DRUGS, MORE BLACKS IMPRISONED

The nation's war on drugs unfairly targets African Americans, who are far more likely to be imprisoned for drug offenses than whites even though far more whites use illegal drugs than blacks, according to a new report by the advocacy group Human Rights Watch.

The report, to be released today, said that African Americans accounted for 62 percent of the drug offenders sent to state prisons nationwide in 1996, the most recent year for which statistics are available, although they represent just 12 percent of the U.S. population. Overall, black men are sent to state prisons on drug charges at 13 times the rate of white men, according to the study, which analyzes a wide range of Justice Department information for 37 states to come up with its findings.

These disparities exist even though data gathered by the Department of Health and Human Services show that in 1991, 1992 and 1993, about five times as many whites had used cocaine than blacks, the report said. The report added that drug transactions among blacks often are easier for police to target because they more often occur in public than do drug transactions among whites.

"These racial disparities are a national scandal," said Ken Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch, an international human rights organization. "Black and white drug offenders get radically different treatment in the American justice system. This is not only profoundly unfair to blacks, it also corrodes the American ideal of equal justice for all."

The disparities are particularly striking in individual states, where black men are sent to prison on drug charges at rates as much as 57 times greater than that of white men. In Maryland, for example, blacks make up 27 percent of the population and 90 percent of those sent to prison on drug charges – for a rate that is 28 times greater than whites.

In Virginia, meanwhile, blacks are 82 percent of those sent to prison on drug charges and just 20 percent of the population. Overall, they are sent to prison on drug charges at a rate 21 times greater than whites.

"More blacks were sent to state prison nationwide on drug charges than for crimes of violence," Jamie Fellner, associate counsel for Human Rights Watch, wrote in the report. "Only 27 percent of black admissions to prison were for crimes of violence – compared to 38 percent for drug offenses."

The Human Rights Watch report adds to a growing array of studies documenting racial disparities in the nation's criminal justice system. A report last month by the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights found that African Americans and Hispanics are treated more harshly than similarly situated whites at every level of the criminal justice system. And that report came on the heels of a study by the National Council on Crime and Delinquency showing that black and Hispanic youth are more likely than whites to be arrested, prosecuted, held in jail without bail and sentenced to long prison terms.

Remedies suggested in the Human Rights Watch report include the repeal of mandatory sentencing laws for drug offenders, increasing drug treatment and eliminating racial profiling as a police tactic.

Im sorry, I was wrong. 6 times.

Oh, I'm sorry. Blacks are more likely to be locked up because they didn't commit any crime.
Terribly sorry.

As of 2001, the odds of a black man going to prison at some point in his life were nearly 1 in 3. In contrast, only 6% of white males ever do prison time. As of 2007, 1 in 10 black adults was either incarcerated, on probation or on parole —and most of these sentences were a result of the drug war. Some 1.2 million black children have an incarcerated parent. These facts should prompt rage, tears and action to change the situation — not laughter.

OP has a huge chip on his shoulder despite living in a time and place where he can achieve anything he wants, including the most powerful position in the world.

He chooses to bitch... says more about him than anything.

You're right, the facts should prompt rage, tears and action to change the situation, but that action has to start from within the black communities. You know as well as I do why blacks are convicted on drug charges at a higher rate, because more often than not they're the ones selling the drugs, and the way they do it in open air drug markets is so blatantly obvious. They're just asking to get caught. Then you have the whole 'stop snitchin' mentality that makes it even worse. I grew up in the city, and there was certain minority neighborhoods where you'd have a hard time finding someone that WASN'T involved in the drug trade. The decent, law abiding people did nothing about it for fear of retribution. It's a cultural problem within the black community much more so than a race problem.

They hate us, because we have bigger cock!
White bitchez love our black beast,
and white people are jealous.

Black man kills a dog gets life
White man plays with kids booty gets out in 12 months?

Oh no, Im dead serious. because we all know that out of 12 blacks commiting crime all 12 will go to jail and only 2 whites out 12 will join them. Because we know how racist our country is. Black man doesn't have a chance in this country.

...blacks are 5 times more likely to commit crime. And thats a fact.

You don't have enough blood flow to your brain to make useful comments.

.

explain????

Loss of blood to the brain because to much is being sent elsewhere .. it was a joke dude.

.

They don't need them. There's about 50 seaports within an hour drive of me. How do you think drugs are smuggled into the country? No governemnt conspiracy theories.

Pastor, I'd watch out for this one, it's from a neocon report in 2000

"advanced forms of biological warfare that can 'target' specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool"

So we need to think about whom it might be that the people who wrote this report (the Bush administration) see as the "Political" problem and who's genotypes will hence be covertly targeted with a form of bio warfare.

I can't with 100% give you the answer, but we can certainly speculate

One quick example of a biological weapon, according to a bipharma database, is the Swine Flu Vaccine

race or genetic based weapons are a myth. is there anything you post that isn't bullshit?

Please do explain why they have put this in their report

well since you provided no link i have no idea what report you are talking about.

i'm sure you will post another earth-shattering youtube expose.

I didn't say anything like that. I wish you would stop putting word in my mouth, it's annoying as fuck. I'm not racist in any way, so I also get annoyed by afrocentrists who think the world owes them something and turn everything into a race issue... just like I get annoyed with white power goof balls talking all that shit on land they did not originate in either.

But, you said, and I quote:



Prove it...

You're normally pretty handy with Google, perhaps it's past your bedtime

if you did some research and used rational thinking (foreign concepts i know) you will find some people think it is a possible threat in the future, which may be true, but there is no one who thinks they are possible now, nor any evidence they exist.

that there are ethno weapons is generally internet misreporting and myth of course turned into "fact" in the sad misama that passes for thinking and research in the conspiracy theory world.

I bet if you interviewed a lot of them.

They like prison

a lot of them choose to be there rather than fight long trials and what not.

Ive heard many black men glorify their time in the big house too.

You think their going to announce it on the news? These things have to be carried out covertly. Only people who have the patience to read through these reports find out this type of information, while everyone else is watching Friends or South Park, though I do have a feeling that I might be a bit out of date with the shows you spend your free time watching these days

umm they speculate several decades in the future there is the possibility of genetic weapons.

as usual you misread, misunderstand and misquote to imply that they exist now.

fail.

So 12% of US population contribute 40% of jail population. Nice!

I have a lot more information as to how it's already being carried out, there are currently different methods being employed. It would take me a long time to go through them and it's late here. I know you try to stimulate the thread by attempting to provoke as that's your job, hence it's water of a duck's back, but it is useful to me as it provides me with an excuse to post more of the information that I feel morally obliged to make people aware of.

you dont like it here? then go live somewhere where there is no racism....
