    Find it funny that a blatant racist is upset about racial problems.

    But, if the facts are there to back this up, then it warrants looking into. The problem that no one will actually talk about is that different states and counties have different punishments. are we talking about a Black Male vs a White Male in the SAME city/county/municipality or are we comparing a Black Male in GA to a White male in Montana?

    Too many factors also like prior convictions, prior run ins with the law, etc etc etc

    In my experience, racists are usually the most concerned about racial problems.

    Agreed, that stat is cause for concern but it is not conclusive on its own.

    Coming from someone else, his argument might be more palatable, but Eric Holder is a sorry piece of shit.

    It wouldnt overly surprise me if they could find statistics that looked like unfair treatment on paper, but having witnessed said experiences in person, i can understand how they happen. I think you probably nailed it with your question though....... "white males in montana vs black males in GA"..... they have a much wider range of white males to sample from, where as a majority of black males are in densely populated cities.


    From my person experience.......

    Me inside a courtroom.
    "Guilty. Yes sir. Yes sir. No sir. Yes sir. No sir. Thank you"

    The 75 other black males inside the courtroom.
    "Nawww, see listen here... what had happen was.... huh? oh, not guilty.... oh? i mean guilty then, but what had happened was... oh, just my plead? ok, guilty.... see what had happen was, dat officer be like youz was goin 55 in a 45 and i thought the speed limit was 55 cause i hadnt seen no sign. oh really? ok, guilty i guess, im sorry"
