Nice try: It’s a listing of all studies done on racism in the justice system and their findings, linked to all the studies themselves and its complied by a scholar of these studies. It’s for those who claim it’s evidence they really want: A nice way to catch people not really interested in evidence is to give them a list of all of it.An opinion piece, where the first page is links to all sorts of articles by people disavowing systemic justice system racism? Eh, not much there.
Ah, so you didn’t actually read the evidence you claimed you were interested in. Look, I know it’s a very long piece/read; to list all those findings in one page concisely enough for all to read–took me long enough to read it. Thankfully, the author kindly provided a content list you can use.BTW, blacks commit more crimes than whites do. Are you saying that fact is due solely to racism? Are you saying those crimes…weren’t committed?
That still doesn’t mean slavery would’ve ended by itself. A myth Right-wingers and libertarians love to tell based on nothing substantial by way of evidence. As if there’s no use for other people when you can treat them like property just because you have machines that can plant faster.No other country came remotely close to ending slavery violently the way Lincoln did it. Slaves were just pawns. Lincoln’s objective was to consolidate powers into Washington DC and he used slavery to accomplish that.
Or you’re deciding to be offended that I’m not shy about highlighting the staggering absurdity of claiming that not being able to insult black people with racial slurs is being victimized yourself.Apparently you’re taking the approach of “if I insult you enough, it’s not ad hominem.”
Interesting reasoning, but ultimately unconvincing to anyone lurking.
Nonsense.That said, there are a host of issues I see with it right off, most notably, it appears to work backward from the conclusion of racism and acts as if racism caused the crimes - which is no way to run a study.
It’s called taking a word back. People misused it so they lose it.Further, with all due respect, you are completely missing the argument I have made regarding the n-word. As I have said many times, it’s not that I’m complaining i can’t say it; I’m noting that blacks are allowed to but no one else can. WHY IS THAT? Because of - dare I say it - systemic favoritism of blacks? (The same systemic favoritism that exists in, say, employment and education).
Whether that is the case or not is total conjecture on both sides. But what is fact is that many countries in the 1800s had ended slavery by non violent means. Lincoln has the blood of over 600,000 people on his hands.That still doesn’t mean slavery would’ve ended by itself
And the bare fact they are targetted in a bagillion ways is proven by statistics too. You can call it an opinion piece if it tickles you to say, or a recipe: the studies listed and linked are not opinions, though, however inconvenient for your arguments.The bare fact that blacks commit more violent crime is proven by the statistics. If I remember right most interracial crime is also black on white and not the other way around. That article is indeed an opinion piece and nothing more.
I can cite FBI statistics all day if you like. The article is opinion and like VDT said an interpretation.And the bare fact they are targetted in a bagillion ways is proven by statistics too.

The stats you mention are part of the listed studies: Just one among many; you know—in a compilation of studies. I don’t know why you think I’d need it from you or why you think that one beloved right-wing talking point makes the other studies magically poof.I can cite FBI statistics all day if you like.
