Chauvin Murder Trial

[Duty]

Did it ever occur to you that systemic racism may be the reason for this appearance?

Yes, it has occurred to me many times, but I dismiss it as conspiracy theory rhetoric, especially when contrasted with the logical, rational explanation I detailed in the post of mine you quoted.

Wrong - I've never denied there're SOME racial issues in American policing.....the main one being that black looking Americans appear to commit vastly more crime per capita than other "races," and the fallout from that discrepancy. 

Let's see now, why might black looking Americans be more prone to crime....maybe because many of them're furious at "white looking America/the establishment" for slavery/segregation etc, so there's nothing many black looking Americans like more than "sticking it to the man" by enthusiastically breaking as many laws and committing as much crime as possible - makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

Black people - particularly Black men - are more often targeted by cops, more likely to be convicted and given harsher sentences by courts.

I'm not denying there is some data in support of this effect - I contend however that the effect is relatively small and in no way is anywhere near large enough to explain the HUGE disparity RE "race" of the imprisoned in America. Stereotyping.....we all do it.....even the police....unfortunately for some types of stereotyping there's another word for it beginning with "R."
