But make up more than 50% of the population.

How is it racist if two black and two white cops shoot people?

BUT, all of this is meaningless as I'm sure you'll take this chance to educate me, the un-enlightened bigotracistredneckwhitecracker on how "racist" the justice system is and these poor innocent victims of society are just being targeted by the "man."
Do you realize how stupid that sounds? A lot blacks and Hispanics go back to prison because they're in gangs and THAT is racist? No that's freaking common sense. A lot of these homey g thug gang bangers will spend most of their lives in prison (where they belong by the way) because they're a step above wild savages and the second they get released go right back to "trappin'" and "slingin' crack." Hate to break it to you but it's the truth. The justice system isn't racist, these criminals are just well criminals. They sell drugs, rape, drink, murder each other, and then cry racism when they get caught. They go to prison, don't learn a damn thing except how to sell more drugs to more people, and then get released, rinse recycle repeat.

Your point? It doesn't change that white people commit the most murders. There's no "buts" and "ifs" to it. This isn't surprising either... white people also have the most people in poverty. The two go hand in hand.

Ahh YOUR RIGHT ! good for YOU

Criminals do not need laws however they love more laws as
it makes their business more profitable...Get it now

Why would anyone try and commit any crime knowing that
some citizen could be armed ?, Well we all know that criminals are not the smartest group of people so I'll defend
my right to level the playing field

As for my source, your entitled to your opinion

No, what's racist is you acting like most black/hispanic people are crooks.

Ever heard the term "per capita"? Here's a hint, it plays a huge part in the total numbers you seem to be stuck on.

And make up more of the population...
But blacks are overrepresented in crime as a percent of the population.

Not one of those 16,000 murders was self defence. That's why they're called murders.


And it doesn't bother you that guns are used "2.5 million times a year in self defence"? WTF kind of country is that dangerous?

I didn't say it was racist. I said many more minorities get prison sentences because they are involved with gang affiliation. It is easier for the police to infiltrate and then use others as informants to catch many of the other gang members.

As far as I know the gang members rarely cry racism. Since when do they "cry" racism? You also are critical of them for not learning anything while in prison. Isn't prison filled with immoral people or mobs?
