I think it is an appropriate headline. As far as drug crimes are concerned I think it is reasonable to accept the fact that the laws, reality and convictions are all in complete disarray.
"This small Indiana county leads in the nation in narrowing the racial-incarceration-gap"
I will be surprised if the gap narrows it probably means the state is putting random people in jail. Black people are far more prone to drug crimes than whites.
- whack 10y agoI will be surprised if the gap narrows it probably means the state is putting random people in jail. Black people are far more prone to drug crimes than whites. That's a very strong claim. The following article says the opposite: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/09/30/white-people-are-more-likely-to-deal-drugs-but-black-people-are-more-likely-to-get-arrested-for-it/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/09/30/white... Do you have any evidence to back up your claim, or are you speaking from (biased) assumptions?
- mark_edward 10y agoLol what do you think they're speaking from?
- tn13 10y agoIsnt it a widely known fact that more black people end up in jail than white people for drug related crimes? What other evidence do you need ?
- JoBrad 10y agoYeah, but they're more likely to be incarcerated for a crime than a white person who commits the same crime - even if both are caught.
