Bold mine: Which they aren't, according to numerous studies on the subject. And yet incarceration rates are higher. So there's another reason behind that disproportion. Maybe it's poverty in general. I don't know how high the incarceration rate among poor white people is in relation to their crime rates. But it's a fact that you have a much bigger chance getting off with a slap to the wrist if you're well off. As has been shown in recent examples where that rich university jock got off with a few months for raping an unconscious girl behind a dumpster. Or another one assaulting his wife got off without any sentence at all.
For the rich and the famous things look entirely different and color certainly doesn't play a role animore. Best example OJ. With his team of first class lawyers he got off where a ghetto kid would have had the book thrown at him.

Is there a link to the studies that show black Americans don't have a higher crime rate than any other race?
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

This is idiotic on too many levels to count. Slavery was an institute in America before the USA even existed. And it certainly wasn't a black man owning the first slaves there. It was all kinds of people, ranging from the Spanish, the british, maybe the Dutch, but I'm not sure if they even had slaves.
It's also idiotic because it's the one off example. The one that stands out in the army of white slave owners - stands out in the way that if someone wants to make a point of tu quoque can resort to that example being made available by who knows who.
Certainly the Spanish were using slaves very quickly after the discovery of the Americas, also the Dutch definitely did use slaves exterminating the native population of an entire island and replacing them with a workforce of slaves bought from Zanzibar.

Perhaps.
Tell you what. If you can come up with 10 percent of all slave owners in the USA having been black, you got a point. Otherwise it's perhaps and the one off - hence and idiotic tu quoque attempt. I can find the one off for any given group.
what a moron.
Before you make a challenge make sure you know your going to be on the right side of said challenge when the smoke clears...
What If I told you 25% of slave owners were black at one point in the 1800?
Could you then admit what you understand about slavery was just propaganda?

What have you got against Asians Quill? Are you racist towards Asians? It seems like it to me.

I refer you to Richard Pryor and his tax dodging. Anybody else from the streets would have been strung up for dodging the tax.

One thing is for sure, there are always racists who hate one specific race. Quill doesn't like Asians for a start, Thena doesn't like whites, there are others who are prejudiced against their own people too, the white Uncle Toms if you will.
