Wait... Trump is guilty? News to me.

Or are you just attempting to fabricate things in an effort to peddle the notion that it's somehow easier to be black and/or gay and that your white masculinity is in any way, shape, or form under assault by society?

Lmao, so fragile.

Smullets lawyer admonished the press for trying her client in the court of public opinion which is exactly the same thing that happened to Trump. Difference is Jussie actually has evidence against him that didnt come from 4chan messageboards or the desperate minds of liberals.

I didn't say all blacks and no whites, did I? This is what happens when the demand for racism exceeds the supply. They make stuff up.

I believe you said "whites don't blame their problems on others" or something to that affect. You didn't say some whites. You said whites.

Your supply is well documented here. There are certainly a lot of claims of faux racism and I hate that **** as much as anyone, but have a little self awareness. I know the older you get, the less consideration there is for the thoughts in your head coming straight out of your mouth, but I think you can manage it.

I think it's a combination of race and money/power that led to this.

A white Trump supporter would've never gotten away with this in a million years staging an attack from Hillary supporters. Even if he did, his career would be ruined and no one would ever hire him/her in any capacity again.

Guess what? Smollett still has a job, and in a few weeks, everyone will have forgotten this ever happened. The media will bury this.

All the crying about a black man getting away with this, while a white man wouldn't...

The majority of drug crimes are committed by white people. The majority of people in jail for drug crimes are minorities. This means hundreds of thousands of non-violent minorities are unfairly being deprived of their liberty. This is racial injustice on a massive scale.

If you are mad about the racial injustice in this Smollett case and don't get mad about the racial injustice of the war on drugs, you may not be a racist, but it's probably safe to say you care a lot more about white people.

A lot of the reason for the higher arrest rate, but not all, doesn't have anything to do with racism.

If you're a poor black kid, how are you likely obtaining your weed? Perhaps walking down the street in a rough neighborhood, in broad daylight, where there are more cops hanging out because the general crime rate is higher there anyway? A rich white kid doesn't buy their weed like that. That's a race-neutral policy that disproportionately impacts black people.

The real impact of the racist or prejudiced policy is seen in how black people are sentenced for drug crimes relative to whites.

Whether the motive is racist or not (notice I never called it "racist" or "racism"), it's still a racial injustice.

If it creates racial injustice, how is it "race neutral"? The intent of the law is not what matters, it's the result that matters.

What should make Cops eye opening is that the series producer/creator attempts to show as many White people as possible because he is a loony lib..and he has a tough time doing that.

It's race-neutral because it isn't created with the intent of disproportionately impacting a certain demographic. A new hardline law or enforcement emphasis on stock option backdating is going to disproportionately impact a very small set of middle-aged white men. Nobody would say that's a law that creates racial injustice, even though the people who go down for it are likely to overwhelmingly be from a particular demographic.

If marijuana is illegal, people who buy/sell/consume it in a way that is easier to detect are going to get nailed by it disproportionately, no matter their race. The real racial injustice is when you have black people and white people convicted of the same drug crime, under similar circumstances, and black people serve longer jail sentences for it. The different penalties for crack and cocaine that used to exist are some of the best evidence of that. That happens as well.

This isn't even a relevant point. Say one group has more criminals than the other, that doesn't mean there aren't racial injustices that need to be corrected. At least make a valid point if you are going to say something vaguely racist.

If a minority is 50% more likely (or whatever the number is) to get busted for a non-violent drug offense, that's a racial injustice. Nobody is calling anybody racist. They're just saying it's an unequal outcome, when you compare outcomes by race.

Which group would be getting in more trouble in a world without the war on poverty and the war on drugs? We're debating the merits of something that has destroyed the black community, so an argument that blacks commit more crimes is just a troll job. This isn't even a whites vs. blacks debate, it's a question of whether or not the war on drugs has been harder on blacks. You lose nothing by admitting this obvious truth, but nope...you're gonna go the other way and hit black folks with an erroneous jab.
