Ah! You don't read much from our news bot!

Too often the news is about black people doing XYZ rather than people doing XYZ... it kinda grates after a while

I tend to gloss over Inky posts honestly. If it's specifically wired to pick up only "diversity" news then yeah, that's some bullshit.

Not trying to blow your high today. Thanks for the civil discourse.

In conclusion, eat slugs Inky.

Cheers,

Link is down so I can't see where in the article it discusses arrest rates.

If you are arguing that race has no affect on how the law is administered... well... okay. Not my place to argue data; empirical or otherwise.

It's says that people of color are 4 times more likely to be arrested, than white. I just disagree with that statement. I for one has been arrested more than my share and all my friends of long ago has also. But to say that 12.3% of the population is 4 times more likely to be arrested than 75.1% is just crazy, and can't see any truth to it at all. JMO

No clue, mate. "More likely" doesn't seem very scientific to me.

I for one don't believe everything I hear or read. Most statement's true or not or sugar coated to get around the truth most of the time. JMO
