We can argue opinion, but you can't argue fact.
You presented no facts.
That whole diatribe is bullshit, you can't change history when it comes to history of the Justice System in this country.
Then your assertion is that the entire country is racist, because these lopsided sentences go on all over the country according to you. These studies only show X crime, and X sentences leaving everything in between out of the picture. So they try to state it has to do with race and no other factors when that's the furthest thing from the truth. Judges are not robots. They don't give the same penalties for the same crime each and every time. It makes no sense to put a model citizen in prison for five years because he got busted with a little bit of coke, and give the repeat offender with a history of crime the exact same sentence. If we were to do that, then we wouldn't need judges. When the person is deemed guilty, hit a computer button and it spits out the sentence.
Since this subject comes up all the time, I asked a friend of mine who works at the clerk of courts in downtown if he seen any judges who factor in race and give blacks harsher sentences. He said there is no record of it, but his personal opinion is that yes, he has seen it. But guess what? The judges who pass these harsher sentences are black themselves.
It made sense too. If you are a black judge with a black defendant who is terrorizing their black neighborhood, the best thing a judge can do is rid the black community of this person for as long as possible. Conversely, if a white judge dislikes blacks and wants to do blacks harm, the best way for him to do that is let these black criminals back into the black community to do more damage to it and the people who reside there.
