Not at all. I think in track and field they dominate too. I agree that in hoops and the NFL (soccer too) they are better from what I have seen. Can you name one white CB? I don't see that as a negative btw. Scandanavians are generally better power lifters. Brazilians kick *** in soccer and MMA. Asians are excellent at badminton. Jews are excellent in owning teams. LOL.
You may or may not school me. Maybe you're a superior athlete? Would you school me in h2h combat? :)
What are your stats in terms of height and weight?
I don't think it is racism that increases poverty rates and jail sentences, it is the lack of two parents. Nice try.
How could only having one parent get you a longer jail sentence than a white person who committed the same crime with the same criminal background?
No two situations are identical.
You literally ignore all evidence of institutional racism. No wonder you don't think it exists.
No. I am happy to address specific incidents not random stats. And if in specific instances an injustice happens those people must be held accountable.
A) They aren't "random stats." They are prison sentences studied by the United States Sentencing Commission. They are facts.
B) If I give you individual cases like: John Williams, he was arrested for grand theft for stealing a $1200 bicycle off of a bike rack, he was sentenced to 3 months. He's black, he has no prior arrests. Here's Phil Smith, he was arrested for grand theft for stealing a $1300 bicycle off of a bike rack, he was sentenced to probation. He's white, he has no prior arrests. You'll say, well that's one case but it doesn't mean the justice system is racist.
The smart way to do it is to look at all cases together and see if there is a trend:
Consistent with its previous reports, the Commission found that sentence length continues to be associated with some demographic factors. In particular, after controlling for a wide variety of sentencing factors, the Commission found:
- Black male offenders continued to receive longer sentences than similarly situated White male offenders. Black male offenders received sentences on average 19.1 percent longer than similarly situated White male offenders during the Post-Report period (fiscal years 2012-2016), as they had for the prior four periods studied. The differences in sentence length remained relatively unchanged compared to the Post-Gall period.
