In Reply To: You must be joking. Many people..including some extreme liberals get in this business to try to make some sort of social statement. You know how many really do?????Zero. This business is not about trying to change the world. If you want to do that then make movies..join the Peace Corps, volunteer at a homeless shelter. This business is about telling stories and reporting the facts. Here are some facts for you; FBI statisticians have extrapolated information to reveal that blacks, as 13.9 percent of the overall population, commit more than 46 percent of the crimes in the United States. Statistically, blacks are more than 16 times more likely to commit a crime (per capita) than whites. In other words they??re in cuffs on TV more because they are getting arrested more than whites. If you intend to fight on some playing ground to change America??s perception of this, then you??re actually stretching the truth. I??m so sick of people talking about prisons being overcrowded with blacks, yah..because they??re committing more crimes. Should we just let them go? Newsman2??what have you been able to do, show more white kids stealing bubble gum cards than black kids capping somebody who had a cross word with them. That makes you a bigot and you border on being a racist. I hope you never work in my newsroom. Maybe you should apply to BET..that way you can start every story with the line ?? the damn white man continues to keep us down??. How long can you folks use that crutch?
Message: You are misinformed. FBI statistics are notoriously wrong because local police departments shade them to make the local cops looks better. And anyone with half a brain knows that arrests do not accurately reflect crimes committed. You see a lot more young black males arrested for street level drugs than video of those responsible for trafficking and putting drugs on the street in the first place. Prisons may be filled with more blacks because the justice system is more lenient on white defendants.
