Yes government collated crime statistics somehow reveals something about my 'prejudice.'Quote:

Again, this has nothing to do with any claims of biology. I am not saying that all black people commit crimes, or that it's in their nature or whatever. That would be racist. It basically goes like this: Low income people tend towards criminal activity. Black people tend to be of lower incomes. Therefore, black people statistically tend towards criminal activity above other demographics (I.E. elderly Asian women or people in wheelchairs).
i.e. not I.E. Sorry, that is a pet peeve of mine. My mother was a grammar Nazi. Others that drive me crazy are the pronunciation of especially and supposedly.Quote:

I understand black people had an awful introduction to this country and that basically the entire reason we see the economic differences we do today has to do with the fact that they were brought into the country as slaves for generations and have been forced to play catchup. They've basically only had equal rights under the law in this country since the 60s/70s, and prejudice and racism certainly had held them back. I don't think it does in 2020, other than that they're obviously 150-200 years behind white people in terms of having the ability to build and accumulate wealth. I don't see how white people today that have never owned slaves or generally never advocated for racist legislation have anything to do with that.Quote:
