Heh. One might posit that the systemic racism exists because of liberalism and not in spite of it.
MINNEAPOLIS — Residents of Minneapolis swell with pride over their city’s sparkling lakes, glassy downtown, beautifully kept green spaces and bicycle-friendliness that draws comparisons to Copenhagen, Denmark. They see themselves as public spirited, embracing of multiculturalism and inspired by Minnesota’s liberal icons, Hubert Humphrey, Walter Mondale and Paul Wellstone.
The Minneapolis City Council, made up of 12 Democrats and a member of the Green Party, includes two transgender members, both of whom are black. The city has for years held a popular community celebration and parade for Juneteenth, commemorating the end of slavery.
But there remains an extraordinary racial gap for Minnesotans when it comes to education outcomes and health care. Black families own their homes at far lower rates than white families, among the largest such disparities in the country. And the city’s predominantly white police force, which has been accused of racist practices for decades, rarely disciplines officers with troubled records.
“Minneapolis has ridden this reputation of being progressive,” said Robert Lilligren, who became the first Native American elected to the City Council in 2001. “That’s the vibe: Do something superficial and feel like you did something big. Create a civil rights commission, create a civilian review board for the police, but don’t give them the authority to change the policies and change the system.”
One might also posit that you don’t spend a lot of time thinking about systemic racism.
Gee, jjf, but I thought liberals hate racism. That liberals were above racism.
Here’s a clue, liberals are far more racist in their policies than conservatives could ever be.
And that includes you as well.
K, Jiffster.
Define it.
Spring it on me, Mar. Show me the extent of your thinking about systemic racism.
Show me how liberals are “far more racist in their policies than conservatives could ever be.”
How racist a policy could a conservative ever concoct?
You think racism has a party?
Dad29, why point at me, when Owen’s the one who said it first.
Oh, that’s right, you’re not biased against anyone – except those who aren’t like you. Not Racist, though, right? Not Sexist? Nothing to worry about!
How’s this definition? “A form of racism expressed in the practice of social and political institutions. It is reflected in disparities regarding wealth, income, criminal justice, employment, housing, health care, political power and education, among other factors.”
Why such different outcomes, such different patterns? I can’t wait to hear your explanations.
You think the cops in Minneapolis are all liberal? And the nice conservative cops can’t stop the liberal ones from misbehaving?
Oh poor jjf, how soon you forget about school choice and your not wanting little brown and black children getting a better education. That is about as racist as you can get, including lynching.
Then the racism in public schools in big cities putting teacher unions ahead of students in the inner cities. Putting the bad teachers in the bad schools and putting good teachers in easier more wealthy schools.
Coddling criminals in inner cities instead of protecting the public. Ask NYC how that is working out with the no bail system.
Need i go on?
Mar, yes, go on. Tell me how those things lead to the disparate outcomes I mentioned here. Or how they lead to segregation in Milwaukee. How do you get from vouchers to segregation?
Right KKK jjf. Just deflect and ignore obvious racism.
Of course, perhaps if a good education, something you and your ilk deny the children of the inner city, maybe they get the good education and move out. Like some do but most don’t.
But hey, make sure your white robes and hood are clean and pressed before your next meeting. The Grand Wizard gets crank if they are not.
I didn’t deflect anything. I asked you to show me how the things you mentioned led to the observed outcomes.
I suggest jjf, you put on your bifocals and reread the article. You missed a few key points.
Good talk, Mar. I’m in the KKK and you’re not.
How’s this definition? “A form of racism expressed in the practice of social and political institutions. It is reflected in disparities regarding wealth, income, criminal justice, employment, housing, health care, political power and education, among other factors.”
Why such different outcomes, such different patterns? I can’t wait to hear your explanations.
I like your definition, but you may not like my answers to your questions because I see the racism as fully bi-partisan. Systemic or Institutional racism is led by Dem/libs. Individual (minority) racism is led largely by Rep/cons. Cities with significant minorities are predominantly led by liberals, heavily supported by those minorities. For decades! How can you possibly blame the people not in power for most types of Institutional racism? The laws were there before the libs took over? And they did not change them? Ever? Conversely, well more than half of the individual acts of racism or closet nazis in or out of politics or the perpetrators of the Floyd murder end up being Republicans. They all have their reasons for their shortcomings, mostly bad, but I would be happy to detail individual examples of either/both sides, if you are interested.
Good analysis Tuerqas.
I would add that both parties have (and continue to) use minorities for political gain:
*Dems/libs as a target for needing help (but not always helping them, in fact often doing the oppostie)
*Reps/conserves as “enemies.” (look no further than the rhetoric of Donald Trump)
jjf, you’ve already proven beyond a shadow of a doubt about racism. As I have said many times, you don’t poor little brown and black children going to school with little kids of privilege. Your position on school choice is sickening and perverse.
Instead of wanting little brown and black improving their education outcomes, you are literally sending most to a life of poverty and some to a life or being a victim if crime or to be a criminal.
Tuerqas, no, I agree, systemic racism is what it says it is: it’s part of the system, and I don’t think it’s useful to try to break it down on partisan lines. Tiresome, even.
Once you start doing the partisan dance? Look what you see here in Mar and Kevin. Oh, no, we’re not the racists, you are!
Some of the policies were enacted by non-partisan bureaucrats or minor elected officials or even non-governmental officials, over generations.
Take red-lining, for example. It has some roots in federal loan policy, but it was enacted by mortgage bankers over time.
The President attacks peaceful protesters for a photo op.
Awful. Just awful.
There goes Lying Pat, lying again.
Awful, just awful, but not surprising.
So, jjf defends his racism by saying everyone is doing it. It’s a partisan thing.
Stay classy, jjf.
What was the lie, Mar?
Tuerqas, I do agree with you about institutionalized racism goes with liberals and there are individuals who claim to be conservative are also, not so much closeted racists. I have heard some disgusting things coming from their mouths.
I was also a teacher for 12 years in the worst inner city schools in Milwaukee and Vegas and have seen the institutional racism along with individual racism by white and black so-called professionals.
It’s a shame.
Your whole statement, Lying Pat.
Prove it wrong, Mar. It was live on TV.
Yeah, and I watched it. Live.
And you are lying.
You prove it you are right, you made the false accusation.
Lying Pat strikes again.
Tuerqas nails it and Jiffy skitters sideways. If you accept the definition Jiffy proposes, and the fact that the cities–largely run by Democrats–execute the policies which impoverish minorities, then the conclusion is inevitable.
But T errs when he ascribes ‘individual racism’ to Pubbies/Conservatives, and in fact, the whole “institutional racism” house of cards collapses when you understand the flaw in his assertion.
Racism is in the hearts of (some) men. That’s where it lies, that’s the platform from which racist policies (few remain, by the way) are created and implemented–and THAT is where it must be eradicated.
Only someone who is willfully blind would state that “racist policies” lead to “…disparities regarding wealth, income, criminal justice, (etc.)” All those policies were made illegal and have been chased to the ground nearly everywhere, in civil and corporate environments.
Further, Jiffy, your offering makes the fatal (but very common) mistake of assuming “racism” as THE cause “disparities …..yadayada.” It’s silly, but makes emotions run wild–the hallmark of the Marxist Envy Game.
Try again.

Yawn, Lying Pat. Still lying. Yawn.
Ok Karen.
The Right Rev. Mariann Budde, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, says she only learned of President Trump’s visit to the historic St. John’s Episcopal Church by watching it on the news and said the church disassociates itself from Trump’s message and response to protests:
“I am the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington and was not given even a courtesy call that they would be clearing with tear gas so they could use one of our churches as a prop, holding a Bible, one that declares that God is love and when everything he has said and done is to enflame violence.”
Waiting for the righteous to denounce Trump’s awful, just awful, blasphemous behavior.
Lying Pat, repeating lies does make it true.
As a far as the Bishop, of course you don’t get courtesy calls about this. You don’t get security calls for security purposes. Maybe she would have been happy if they burned down the entire church instead.
And the pastor of the church had no problems the president visiting.
And Trump also was making a point about taking back a park where thugs were rioting and injuring people and trying to burn down a church.
The only I did have was using the Bible as a prop. But that’s just me.
And, Karen, being in denial doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, not as I said, but as it’s been reported by numerous, credible, news outlets.
Why wait? Bishop-ette Karen already did so.
Whatever Lying Pat. You are so gullible.
Now, it’s time for your bedtime.
Time to get to bed early tonight. You have an electric shock therapy session tomorrow morning.
More brilliance from Karen.
Gee, Karen, the Reverend of St. John’s was just on TV and he contradicted what you said, “And the pastor of the church had no problems the president visiting.“
Why did you lie about that?
Patsy thinks she’s brilliant: “More brilliance from Karen.”
Posting links to four headlines from leftist publications in the span of of two minutes (or six in four, if you prefer) isn’t brilliance, dear. It’s a sign of mindless goose-stepping.
Read every word, didja?
Well, Lying Pat, I watched him live on Fox News.
So, either is lying now or you are.
Hmm. Trust the pastor on Fox.
Or trust Lying Pat.
I think I’ll flip a coin. Heads for the pastor and tails for Lying Pat.
Heads it is.
Lying Pat loses. Again.
I just watched the video and did not see where the pastor said he was Ok with Trump’s visit. But, I am sure Mar will tell us exactly when he said it.
https://www.foxnews.com/media/st-johns-rector-fire-impromptu-trump-visit
Randall, the pastor didnt say anything negative about the president’s visit, unlike the faux bishop.
https://m.facebook.com/CNNReplay/videos/254846372504253/
I know he’s being interviewed on CNN, but he directly contradicts Marble’s lie that, “the pastor of the church had no problems the president visiting.“
Dad29 engages in conflation and generalization – cities are “largely run by Democrats” – to try to explain racism and its effects everywhere?
Trust me, you can go to the smallest town full of churches and bars and GOP politicians, and there’s racist thought and racist expression.
Oh, but racism is in the hearts of men! Hand-wring! What can we do? It’s Just Sin! Don’t know where it comes from, we have no idea! Maybe the Devil! Arch eyebrow! How do these racist ideas get passed down from father to son? It’s a mystery!
Here’s what Dad29 has done: Zip. He’s enjoyed his white privilege all these years. No Problem – He Knows A Guy – And He’s White, Too. I’m With The Church! Do You Know Who You’re Talking To?
Like Owen, he likes to put himself on high alert when he’s in a Bad Neighborhood, and will justify rolling through the stop signs to prevent any hijackings.
The civil rights battles of the 1960s washed over him like rain off a duck. The 70s, the 80s, the 90s, the 00s, the 10s… he didn’t change! He’ll say he’s not racist – but he’s happy to enjoy the privileges you get by doing nothing.
Or maybe I’m being unkind. Maybe his views on black people have changed over the years. Please, Dad29 – tell us the story of how your views have changed over your lifetime, and why. Did you ever know anyone who spoke racist ideas to you?
So how do the disparities arise? You think I’m swayed by Marxists, but you’re not swayed by racists?
Next step, I predict, he gets all Bell Curve on us. Racism has been made illegal?
>Dad29 engages in conflation and generalization
Ironically, jjf does exactly the same. Racist is written 6 times, Racism 3. But he knows each and every one of us through our online activities here. Right u/jfoust2? You have doxxed us and know where we live and what we do and how we treat people?
I think you’re projecting, Jason.
Or would you like to doxx yourself here, at least in terms of admitting your own journey about racist ideas?
So I’ll take it that’s a solid no. You don’t know how we treat people, you don’t know anything about us. You’re the one on here projecting, johnny.
Well, jjf, are you finally admitting you are a racist?
Yah…..call me racist. Don’t bother with my call-out of your Marxist “analysis” and its vast logical fail.
You’re a joke.
Where did I call you a racist? Dad29, feel free to tell me your story, as I asked.
OK, anyone else? Tell me how your views on racist thoughts and policies have changed since you were young. Who in your life expressed racist ideas, and what did you say to them? What do you say today when you hear it from friends or family? Anyone?
Mar said, “the pastor didnt say anything negative about the president’s visit, unlike the faux bishop.“
But the pastor did. https://m.facebook.com/CNNReplay/videos/254846372504253/
I doubt Mar intentionally lied. I’d like to believe he misspoke, even when it was brought to his attention that he was incorrect.
And then there is this:
https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/2020/06/02/george-floyd-trump-visit-catholic-shrine-amid-photo-op-criticism/3122549001/
The condemnation over this by the resident conservatives is deafening.
Well, Pat, the First Amendment isn’t as important as a Trump photo-op.
Flash-bang!
Why should we complain? How much damage was done to the park, churches, monuments and how many police officers were injured by thugs last night?
As far as President Trump visiting the Saint John Paul Shrine yesterday, well, the attitude of the Bishop of DC kind of explains why I am no longer a Catholic.
Mar, if Obama had cleared the demonstrators to hold a photo-op, as well as holding the Bible upside down and backwards, y’all would’ve said this was proof he was the Anti-Christ.
Pat, from Fox New: “After Gregory’s scathing remarks, the shrine released a statement calling the visit “fitting given St. John Paul II was a tireless advocate of religious liberty” and noting that “international religious liberty receives widespread bipartisan support,” adding “the shrine welcomes all people to come and pray and learn about the legacy of St. John Paul II.”
I guess the Shrine had no problems with the visit, which had been planned for awhile and not a spur of the moment idea.
DMOTP Jiffy, Patsy, and, well, all leftists actually, lie like the mangy dogs they are: if Obama had cleared the demonstrators to hold a photo-op,
Date: June 2, 2020

The United States Park Police (USPP) is committed to the peaceful expression of First Amendment rights. However, this past weekend’s demonstrations at Lafayette Park and across the National Mall included activities that were not part of a peaceful protest, which resulted in injuries to USPP officers in the line of duty, the destruction of public property and the defacing of memorials and monuments. During four days of demonstrations, 51 members of the USPP were injured; of those, 11 were transported to the hospital and released and three were admitted.
Multiple agencies assisted the USPP in responding to and quelling the acts of destruction and violence over the course of the weekend in order to protect citizens and property.
On Monday, June 1, the USPP worked with the United States Secret Service to have temporary fencing installed inside Lafayette Park. At approximately 6:33 pm, violent protestors on H Street NW began throwing projectiles including bricks, frozen water bottles and caustic liquids. The protestors also climbed onto a historic building at the north end of Lafayette Park that was destroyed by arson days prior. Intelligence had revealed calls for violence against the police, and officers found caches of glass bottles, baseball bats and metal poles hidden along the street.
To curtail the violence that was underway, the USPP, following established policy, issued three warnings over a loudspeaker to alert demonstrators on H Street to evacuate the area. Horse mounted patrol, Civil Disturbance Units and additional personnel were used to clear the area. As many of the protestors became more combative, continued to throw projectiles, and attempted to grab officers’ weapons, officers then employed the use of smoke canisters and pepper balls. No tear gas was used by USPP officers or other assisting law enforcement partners to close the area at Lafayette Park. Subsequently, the fence was installed.
Throughout the demonstrations, the USPP has not made any arrests. The USPP will always support peaceful assembly but cannot tolerate violence to citizens or officers or damage to our nation’s resources that we are entrusted to protect.
From the catholic news service:
“Patricia McGuire, president of Trinity Washington University, a short distance from the shrine, charged that Trump was misappropriating religious symbols for political gain rather than broadly supporting religious freedom.
“He’s torn down the wall between church and state … and instead (is) weaponizing religion for his own political goals,” she told Catholic News Service.
McGuire called on the U.S. Catholic bishops to stand “shoulder to shoulder at this shrine and tell him in no uncertain terms that this promotion of religion for political purposes is wrong.”
Ok, so what Le Roi? McGuire has nothing to do with the Shrine. I am not positive but I don’t think the Archbishop has anything to do with the Shrine either.
But did it hurt your feelings?
“I am not positive”
Exactly.
‘Brian Burch, the president of CatholicVote, a political Catholic organization, said Trump’s visit to the shrine and executive order should be “celebrated” by those who love the church and religious freedom. “It is regrettable that the Archbishop of Washington chose this occasion to engage in a partisan attack on the President, especially when the country is in desperate need of healing and unity.”‘
‘Edward N. Peters, a Roman Catholic canonist and professor at Sacred Heart Major Seminary of the Archdiocese of Detroit, tweeted that Gregory’s condemnation is “devoid of any sense of Christian sentiment.”‘
“Dwight Longenecker, a Catholic priest, shared an image of Gregory with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with the caption: ‘I find it baffling and reprehensible that any Catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused and manipulated.’”
“I find it baffling and reprehensible that any Catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused and manipulated in a fashion that violates our religious principles, which call us to defend the rights of all people even those with whom we might disagree,” -Archbishop Wilton Gregory, ignorant of the blazing hypocrisy of his own words.
“Saint Pope John Paul II was an ardent defender of the rights and dignity of human beings. His legacy bears vivid witness to that truth. He certainly would not condone the use of tear gas and other deterrents to silence, scatter or intimidate them for a photo opportunity in front of a place of worship and peace.” – Archbishop Wilton Gregory.
Imagine that. A leftist “catholic” lying through his teeth.
The Archbishop has nothing to do with the Shrine, the Knights of Columbus operate it. So, I am 100% positive of it instead of 99%
So, the hateful bishop has nothing to say about goes on there.
So, are you offended?
MjM copy-pastes selective supporting quotes, ignores other viewpoints. But he’s not lying.
I know how you feel, jjf. It sucks when your lefty brethren are caught lying.
DMOTP Jiffy scolds me for doing exactly what he/Nort/Patsy do every day (in fact, Nort did this just 5, 6 post above his…) : copy-pastes selective supporting quotes, ignores other viewpoints.
Yes, instead of citing the likes Vox and The MKE UrinalSentinal.
And just to note, Jiffy is too brain dead to recognize an published official statement from a g’vment agency when he sees it.
MjM, it smelled like Trump. Have you not noticed the way his appointed followers are quite loyal?
The secret service used tear gas.
Major is buying in to what “The New Deep State” is telling him.
How Orwellian!
DMOTP Jiffy sniffs: “ it smelled like Trump.”
Been snortn’ his socks, have ya?
Yeah, socks were the only thing I could afford, what with all the Republicans bidding up the price of his shorts.
Damn, jjf, thinking of you in just socks kinda made my lose my appetite for dinner.
Finally Mad Dod speaks out.

Yawn.
And yet Lying Pat and Uneducated Le Roi still have have nothing to say about the thugs who are rioting in Black and Brown neighborhoods.
When is the KKK party for Lying Pat, Uneducated Le Roi and KKKjj Klan meeting for you three?
I bet Patsy looks good in the KKK gown and hood.
mar:
I have always told any and all that if someone, anyone, commits a criminal act they should be arrested/cited, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Don’t blame me for your failure to pay attention.
Ok, Le Roi, please let me know where you said that. A copy and paste would be helpful.
If you said that, then I will apologize to you.
Sorry mar, you don’t get to tell me what to do. I have told you that in the past as well. Pay attention.
Hey Mar:
They caught some thugs. and, just as i said, they are white supremacists. When I said white supremacists were behind some of the rioting, you were sure i was wrong, remember?

If they are guilty, throw the book at them.
But it seems like the Nevada AG and Federal attorney are ignoring Antifa,Black Lives Don’t Matter and other terrorists.
Of course, this also may be a made up charge to allow them to let radical leftists escape.
Nope. Trump lives inside his head. There’s plenty of room there.
And yes, +Wilton Gregory–a product of the scummiest US Cardinal in history, Joe Bernardin, was wrong on every single count. Note well: he wasn’t “standing with” Aborto-Nancy; he allowed that witch to talk at a funeral Mass.

Cute, Captain Flagg. But not impressive.
I was not and am not saying that all racists are Rep/cons. I was pointing out that the majority (more than 50%) of politicos found out to have extensive racist ties after being elected have been Reps. The majority of cops who killed or savaged a black man under varying levels of murky circumstances have been conservative often converted ‘from experience’. Maybe that is unfair, but it has been the case. And I am only really talking against blacks. Don’t even get me started on how much the blacks I have been friends with who categorically don’t like whites or hispanics (that is a different subject because they are not gaining from their racist beliefs).
Racism is indeed in the hearts of men, and those men decide to be conservative or liberal or Dem or Rep based in part on those beliefs. Cry me a river white liberals don’t usually become that way because they first held any racist ideals. People who want to protect their paycheck from what they (rightly) perceive as big Govt robbing them to pay non-workers pushes them towards conservatism…and also not appreciating the ‘slackers’ receiving part of their paycheck. Is it racism to resent the people not earning an ‘honest paycheck’ and then getting some of yours? Yes or no? I would accept the category of institutional racism, and in those institutional policies supporting hatred and envy in others. Racism is flourishing in those policies, not even close to being eradicated.
I absolutely disagree with your last statements. Under the same law, a black inner city youth with no priors will almost always be given a more harsh penalty than the white son of a middle class suburban family for the same crime. THAT is racism today. Yes it has disguised itself some, there are no more Jim Crow laws on the books, but if George Floyd had been white, he would be alive today, drop that mic! That cop thought he would get away with whatever he perpetrated because of his race and badge vs a black man. White wins most of the time.
“if George Floyd had been white, he would be alive today ”
If my theory is correct, with Floyd having the Chinese virus, I think the cop was holding him down because of that, not because he was black.
And I would venture to say, under the same circumstances, a white person would have been held down like that as well.
The cop didn’t want to get the virus.
Got documentation for that?
If I understand your argument, you state that EEO policies breed racism. That clears it all up.
Your first logical error is positing that resentment equals racism; you assume that all ‘slackers’ are POC’s. Really? You also presume to read minds.
It’s difficult to follow all your comments, but those stand out.
If I go get it, will you accept it? I have looked for statistics on first offenders before, loaded it all up and it was poo-pooed and then ignored by the other commenter. Yes, there were FBI statistics for that several years ago and the numbers were pretty stark percentage-wise(charged with vs convicted of, by race), but I am only going to go digging again if you say now that you will accept them. To be clear(as I do not want to put words in your mouth), you believe that there is no significant difference between percentage numbers of convictions, vs charges by race, is that correct? There are no numbers on kids being let off with warnings, vs kids that were charged available. If you are already aware that conviction rates are much higher for blacks than whites for the same crime (first offense) and were just asking for documentation on people charged vs given warnings (something that is not documented), I can’t help you. Part of the reason for the higher percentage of black charges and convictions is posited that comparatively few blacks are given warnings for the same lower level crimes. I accept that position, but it was based on studies, there are simply no public data bases retained for warnings given over time.
Your first logical error is positing that resentment equals racism
Nope, I said often or can lead to, never equals. I have no idea if I stated that EEO policies breed racism, I don’t know what your abbreviation stands for.
No, not really. I had earlier stated that I was talking about the black minority specifically in those comments, I was not stating or implying that all slackers are POC, I was talking about general conservative and republican feelings of black minorities in larger cities. That is based, not on mind reading, it is based on voting records for policies giving slackers of all races more free stuff. Blacks are not even close to the majority of Gov’t largesse recipients by race, but they are by percentage, and many people I have known over the years stereotype from those numbers.
This is a (hopefully) concise and condensed statement, of my beliefs on racism. Racism, as you stated, is in the hearts of some people. Concepts/beliefs that can foster racism are more prevalent in the Republican platform than the Democrat platform. And people vote their beliefs.
Yep, we just disagree. I believe a white person would have been directed to breathe a certain direction/way, maybe to get down on the ground and breathe under the car or whatever. It is specifically less safe for the cop to stay on top of the neck of any person, making them gasp and spray and cough, sweat, etc, right next to them and on their clothing rather than staying 6′ away from them. The Chinese virus angle will be a losing defense in court.
Let’s not read minds, Dad29!
Tell me. Would you change places in the world today? Would you mind if you woke up tomorrow morning with dark skin?
“Tell me. Would you change places in the world today? Would you mind if you woke up tomorrow morning with dark skin?”
Wow, just wow, what a horrible racist statement by jjf.
jjf infers that a person with dark skin is worse off because of their skin color, just their skin color. Not their attitude, beliefs, their behavior, work ethic etc.
This isn’t the 1950sand 60s, jjf. Grow up.
What, Mar? Why do you think a dark-skinned person is worse off? Why didn’t you assume that I meant that the dark-skinned person had it better than you and I? If you think their experience is the same, tell me why.
Well, I raised 2 Brown skin children and they are no different than any other kid raised the same way.
You are such a horrible racist, jjf. Why?
That still doesn’t tell me why you assumed I meant they’d be worse off rather than better.
Do you run around calling people “racist” a lot, Mar?
I only call racist people racist, racist.
And if you cannot figure out your question, then you are a dumb racist.
Wait, wait, wait! I ran out of popcorn. I’ll be right back!
Yeah, Merlin, I can’t wait to hear how Mar explains how everything’s gotten so much better than all the bad things that only happened in the 50s and 60s.
Does he mean the 1850s and 1860s? I dunno! He’s got me on the edge of my seat!
No, kkkjjf, your mindset is in the 1950s and 60s.
Your beliefs in racist policies, your views toward minorities and your utter give a crap about shows your racism.
You may not be the guy in a big pick up, with a Confederate flag in the back whistling the Dukes of Hazzard theme song racist.
No, you are quiet and more destructive racist.
You don’t (maybe) have a white hood and robe, your attitudes are worse than those clowns because your racist beliefs are more mainstream and more destructive than the current day Klan.
I do not think that there is disparity in convictions for first-time offenders, same charges, different races. Correct.
While it’s almost impossible to get Juvie numbers, Juvie convictions WILL have an impact on conviction rate for “first-time” offenders if–in fact–their Juvie record is significant. I’m sure that your research will include that important component.
