Baron Max:
Why doesn't poverty have the same effects on whites and other races?
It does.
Poverty is NOT the cause of high crime ...
Why do you assume there is a single cause of high crime? And why do you assume crime is unaffected by poverty? More generally, why do you assume? I think I know.

Fraggle Rock thinks that the "war on drugs" (America's drugs laws) has a lot to do with blacks being imprisioned, and he's right.
But, Fraggle Rock also THINKS "that the rate of drug use in the black community is about the same as in the white community".
And, then Fraggle Rock tells us he THINKS "that black people are twice as likely to be arrested for it, and four times as likely to go to prison for it" and Fraggle Rock simply say's the reason why is just racial "discrimination".
All good, valid points.
How does Fraggle Rock feel about KNOWING that blacks are convicted for murder at SEVEN times the rate for whites?
Did you miss all the information on racial profiling that was provided for you?
Is Fraggle Rock also going to claim America's murder laws are "a tool of discrimination"?
How do people get charged with murder? Who charges them? Who tries them? Who convicts them? Who sentences them?
Sadly, Fraggle Rocks thinking that the problems blacks have are somehow not the responsibility of blacks themselves, is the true "tool of discrimination".
Fraggle said nothing of the sort. You have no idea what he thinks about the so-called "problems blacks have".
What makes things worse is the many people that blame white folks for black folks ill behaviour, almost the same way a parent is blamed for their child's behaviour.
Unsupported assertion.
People who want to hold whites responsibile in anyway for black behaviour, are clearly people who don't see blacks as a equal.
Well, nobody has talked about holding whites responsible for blacks' behaviour, so there are no worries there.
Do you have a problem with blacks natural violent behaviour?
Please provide evidence to back up your claim of "natural violent behaviour". If you cannot do so, I will take this as mere racist posting from you, and take appropriate moderation action.
Every year blacks are commiting more and more crimes, so it can't be to much work.
Provide evidence for this claim, if you can.
Then America will be just another third world crap hole like the other areas colored people inhabit.
You are walking a very fine line with your racism here.
I must say, I'm not surprised you're racist
and homophobic. Why do those traits so often go together?
John99:
You come from a country that has the caste system so you of all people should recognize factors that may not be immediately obvious. The U.S system is much better and far less discriminatory...to the point of being a non-issue.
Did you just ignore all the evidence presented in this thread that shows clearly that the US justice system is discriminatory? Willful blindness?
I can tell you with 100% certainty that the surest way to stay out of prison is not break the law.
It's not 100% sure, though, is it? You can still be charged, arrested etc. without breaking any law.
If you are really interested go to U.S and see where people live with bars on their windows and doors. Explain to them that crime is an illusion.
There is a media-fueled climate of fear in the US.
