Another sign of a racist society.

Some white folks I know tell me that black folks commit an inordinate number of crimes. But that's really an old wives tale. It ain't true. At least when it comes to drug-related crimes. Statistics show that blacks make up 13 percent of the population in the USA, and that they commit 14 percent of the drug-related offenses. But there's also another interesting statistic. Of the people sentenced to prison for drug-related crimes, 60 percent of 'em are blacks. In other words, whites seem to get off a lot easier. That tells me something. The judicial system is stacked against blacks. Just another sign that we live in a racist society. --Jim Broede
