In reply to the discussion: Will there be an increase in blacks obtaining concealed carry permits? [View all]How do you explain sentencing differences for rock vs. powder cocaine? How do you explain the fact that blacks are charged and convicted in far greater percentages than whites who engage in the same behavior? SYG is particular has been shown to be profoundly racist, invoked 11 to 1 by whites over blacks.How do you explain the fact that those on death row are overwhelmingly African American and that killing a black person rarely results in a death sentence but blacks killing whites are sentenced to death at far greater rates?
In 1990 a report from the General Accounting Office concluded that "in 82 percent of the studies [reviewed], race of the victim was found to influence the likelihood of being charged with capital murder or receiving the death penalty, i.e. those who murdered whites were more likely to be sentenced to death than those who murdered blacks."

The simple fact is that "society" does not value the lives of black people. The Martin trial exemplifies that. If a black man had been the shooter, chances that he'd be a free man today are very small. Every person with a functioning brains stem knows that.
Pretending racism doesn't exist is pure fantasy. You obviously have no idea what racism is and instead appear steadfastly committed to maintaining white privilege through willful ignorance. Your denial of racism and attempt to portray yourself and whites as victims because others point out facts is ideological dribble. Denying the existence racism is one of the most pernicious form of racism that exists. That kind of propaganda about racism against whites actually originated among white supremacist groups, and now you repeat it here. It's hard to believe anyone can really be that uninformed, but you exceed all expectations.

Pretty easy to see that he/she was trying to portray this "black guy" as a fool.

With all due respect you are wrong. Race is very much a part of the Criminal Justice system.
