I really shouldn't be reading stuff like this. It makes me so angry. It is odd that so many conservative Americans think racism isn't a thing. Blacks are dismissed as violent thugs, who are the fault of their own problems. But who had acted peaceful and well adjusted if they were subject to as much oppression, prejudice and brutality as the blacks of the US? People are products of their environments just like animals. A mistreated animal is also bad behaved and violent.

> Blacks are dismissed as violent thugs, who are the fault of their own problems. Black men are dismissed... as are most men, TBH. The incidence of incarceration goes: black men, white men, black women, white women. Also, rich tends to beat poor, even considering race. e.g. O.J. Simpson. https://www.law.umich.edu/newsandinfo/features/Pages/starr_gender_disparities.aspx https://www.law.umich.edu/newsandinfo/features/Pages/starr_g... Men tend to get 63% larger sentences than women. And that difference is larger than the difference between races.

  Do men commit more crimes than women?

    If only there was a study which explained this... or maybe an "internet search engine" where you could find references. I'll summarize for the lazy: taking everything else into account, men get 63% longer sentences for the same crime than women do. If you look at crimes: http://law.jrank.org/pages/1250/Gender-Crime-Differences-between-male-female-offending-patterns.html http://law.jrank.org/pages/1250/Gender-Crime-Differences-bet... About 80% are committed by men. But 93% of inmates are men: https://www.bop.gov/about/statistics/statistics_inmate_gender.jsp https://www.bop.gov/about/statistics/statistics_inmate_gende... There are any number of explanations for this. The most honest and rational explanations don't involve making men "bad" and women "good".

      Yes well women are oppressed, so when women finally get a win vs men you have to complain about it. Women make less than men, so a female suspect won't be able to afford as good of a lawyer as a man. Therefore, giving them lesser sentences to compensate for this is only fair.
