Where in this analysis do they account for slavery, Jim Crowe, mass incarceration, redlining, systemic racism, etc?
Or is the feeling that these things have no significant impact?
- noofen 5y agoHow do you account for it? Just give them more money? Rich African Americans commit crimes at a higher rate than Asians and Whites at the same socioeconomic level. Irish people haven't had a particularly pleasant past either, and you don't see people making excuses for them.
- mushbino 5y agoMassive investments in black communities. Comparing the treatment of the Irish to 400 years of institutionalized chattel slavery is absurd on its face. Also, again, ignoring everything else I mentioned. Some books you should check out to learn more about this. The New Jim Crow and The Color of Money. Black communities have been chronically underfunded, underserved, over-policed, and segregated for the entire history of our country.
