Please don't tell us you believe that "racism" causes young black men to commit crimes?

It impacts who gets charged, who gets convicted, and who does how much time.

That's not what I said, though. Do people really believe that "racism" actually causes young black men to commit crime? That is a nonsense assertion. When racism was far more structured and legal (i.e Jim Crow) blacks committed far less crime.
I'm not accusing blacks of anything. I'm accusing liberals of viewing blacks as an inferiour race that can't succeed without government help.

Do you think that's true for murder?
What is wrong in American society?
Of course there is. It is called liberalism. It brings out the worst in people. Maybe I will just post a couple of David Manning videos on the subject and let Harlem speak for themselves.

It's true for everything.
Maybe not, but it matters when you try to understand crime statistics, and you can't ignore it without introducing a glaring bias.
If you're going to be treated as a criminal either way, it at least removes some of the incentive to obey the law. The deterrent effect is premised on the discernment of the system.
What is your data on that? And also what do you make of it?
Nothing.

lain:Neither party is racist, though there are racists to be found in either party.
So the system lets white people get away with murder? That seems hard to believe.

Just brings 'Proud to be an American' to mind, doesn't it?

To be fair, 'racism' isn't the only thing jgarden could have meant. It could be that if you are in a certain situation you are more likely to be a criminal and black people are disproportionately in those situations. Racism, explicit or implicit, may only be one factor.
But I would like jgarden to come back and explain.

In the sense that it's easier to convict black defendants, because of the implicit biases, and racist jury selection practices.
What a great way to break the stereotype.

It's the people who hold power that have ability to really change.
Don't know what you mean by that.
I mean that the people in government, the lawmakers, and the courts, have a moral, and possibly legal responsibility to make the system fair. I'm not advocating flouting the law, but it's hard to tell people that they should obey a law and a system that's systematically unfair to them. And the reality as it's been expressed to me is that black parents have had to try to teach their children that they have to be extra cautious because they won't get a fair shot if they fall under suspicion.
