Ask a Black Man.....

[MACHINE5150]

I agree with everything you said above Bigmc.. but the sentencing thing and likely to go to prison thing is because they are the ones committing the crimes, no one is putting a gun in their hands and making them rob something. Also, the sentencing has more to do with wealth than race.. Blacks, being poorer on average than whites, probably get stuck with a sh!tty public defender and THAT is why they get longer sentences..

onto another question though.. why do black guys like huge asses so much?? i never got that, but it is almost 90% of my black friends love a huge ass.

To answer your first part, people have always tried to use economics as a front for actual racism. I guess I could probably go into a massive dissertation about why blacks are more likely to be poorer than whites and explain the consequential legal system mandatory sentencing guidelines using economics as their reasoning because they cannot use race. But that would be long winded and boring.

I do understand what you are saying. No one if forcing anyone to commit crimes. That wasn't what I was saying. What I was saying is this, using deductive reasoning, crack and cocaine are essentially the same drugs, right? Why then is possession for one given a longer sentence than the other. Some would argue it's because cocaine is used largely by whites while crack is used more by blacks and other minorities.

The second part of your question about big asses actually has its basis in Africa. In many west African countries, women with larger asses are seen as having more prestige. Its actually a bit biological as well (or so I've read), larger hips and ass means a better ability to carry larger children.

it has nothing to do with black or white or rich or poor.. it has to do with what drug was involved in more crimes.. i.e. guys high on crack robbing liquor stores and shooting people.. where people high on coke don't usually do that.. i have smoked crack a few times before and i have done cocaine probably a thousand times during my college days.. Crack literally made me want to go kill someone or do some other crazy sh!t, cocaine made me want to stay up all night and talk about stupid sh!t for hours on end... they are different drugs. crack is also much more addictive than cocaine is for whatever reason.

I would agree with you that racism still exists in the judicial system in certain states, but i do not believe it exists in any northern or western states such as California, new york etc..

I've never done either. But I've seen people do drive bys high on crack and I've seen people shoot up night clubs high on coke. I've seen guys jump off buildings high on crack and I've seen people kill their girlfriends after raping them high on coke. So it's all about individual use and affect. Crack does have a shorter more intense high, but coke is just as bad. Can't justify uneven treatment of the same drug based solely on your own personal use. I live in Nevada and there are always huge racial disparities in the judicial treatment here. It's much, much worse in California and Arizona, especially when you apply the same issues to the hispanic populations.
