It is shown that minorities commit more crimes than white people. It is shown that Muslims are more prone to violence. It's not racist if it has a foundation.

Actually this is half write may I add that percentage wide for percentage of minorities verses whites. Yet numbers do not agree with your statement.

There are currently more whites in jail than minorities. Do the math. The majority population is majorly white.

Also there are more minority areas with poor schools and poor neighborhoods. This is not due to the people this is due to the fact that when minorities move into an area the wealthy population leaves. This includes wealthy minorities that leave thus the area becomes poor. This is one of Vegas and Miami's biggest problems. If the wealthy population would stop running away and forming their little clicks, this may decrease this problem.

Generally, different races tend to get along (except for Blacks).

Racism will never go away, especially as long as Blacks an Asians inhabit the same earth. It is a fact that the typical asian puts the most bigotted Klansman to shame.

I will be racist too, as it is a trait of survival. Race is destiny!

The color of your skin shouldnt dictate your actions or life style.

Anybody who just simply cites that 50% of all African Americans are in the prison system without providing context is being foolish. That statistic could be explained by a variety of factors:

* It has been shown that a black male will make, on average, less than a white male. Which would mean that a white male has a better chance to afford a better lawyer who can get that male a reduced sentence or probation.

* The War on Drugs. It has been shown that white people, who we already know earn more on average, are more likely to go for the expensive cocaine powder, which requires only a little bit to get a high. Whereas African Americans, who earn less on average, will be more likely to go for the least expensive crack cocaine, which requires more of it to get a high.

Now, since you don't need to carry as much powder cocaine to get a high, if a white male and a black male were both caught, one with powder cocaine and one with crack, that white male probably isn't going to be arrested, or charged with anything serious. Why? Because the black male would be carrying more! Also some statistics and observations noted from this article:

Contrary to stereotype, "the typical cocaine user is white, male, a high school graduate employed full time and living in a small metropolitan area or suburb," to quote former drug czar William Bennett.

A 1990 study in the New England Journal of Medicine found that drug and alcohol abuse rates were slightly higher for pregnant White women than pregnant Black women, but Black women were about ten times more likely to be reported to authorities under a mandatory reporting law.

Three out of four drug users are White (non-Latino), but Blacks are much more likely to be arrested for drug offenses and receive longer sentences. As the Sentencing Project reports, Blacks constitute 13 percent of all past-month drug users, but 35 percent of arrests for drug possession, 55 percent of convictions, and 74 percent of prison sentences. Almost 90 percent of people sentenced to state prison for drug possession in 1992 were Black and Latino.

Now how can people sit there and say, "Oh, blacks are more prone to being criminals" when they fail to consider other factors?

It's not the color of the skin, it's the race. Race is much more than color of skin; it is bredth of nose, size of lips, size of eyes, type of hair, type of mindset, etc..

You know, I can almost judge a person's character by how the look (race is a major part of this) and how they dress. Ninety percent of the time I am right, especially when talking about japanese people.

Did you even read the entire article?

From the article:

NOTE: Some have claimed that black crime is high because 'racist' cops target blacks for arrest and 'racist' judges heap convictions on innocent blacks; but statistics belie this: Three of the cities highest in crime are Washington DC, New Orleans and Detroit; and yet the government of all these cities is in black hands; so clearly the cause of high crime in these cities is not 'racial targeting of blacks'. More generally, black crime is high WHEREVER you go; and it would be the world's most absurd conspiracy theory to suppose that the across-the-board high crime rates for blacks originated in a collusion of whites in every city and burg in the nation to target blacks and/or cook the books.

No, it's not an absurd conspiracy theory, but a very real idea that there is prevalent racism in the criminal justice field. Bringing up one or two examples to try to negate the theory does not disprove the theory, since the example does not prove the rule.

most black people aren't criminals, but the fact remains that in a lot of urban areas a lot of criminals/violent criminals are black. the fact that they arrest more black than white people isn't indicative of racism though there are many instances of racism. however you shouldn't use it as an excuse to villify the police, as there are a substantial number of law enforcement personnel who take their job in the interest of serving their community and making it safer

You will always find someone who doesn't like someone else because of the color of their skin or where they come from.

I'm not trolling, I'm stating the truth. I've already set the premise so many times, I assumed that all that I needed to do was post the conclusion...
