I saw this (non religious) video on Facebook and it made me angry

Ok but out of the times these stops were made how many arrests were made for subsequent stop?

Here's another shocking thought... What if one racial group has a tendency to be involved in more criminal activity than another?

In my fergason thread someone posted a stat that said in the state of Mo, black people were less then 20% of the total population, but were convicted of 60% of the crime. In that light, why wouldn't black people be stopped more?

Convicted as in a trial by your peers, or an admission of guilt.

What if???? What if you used facts and reason to inform your opinion instead of bigotry and right wing punditry? Silly me, I forgot who I was talking to. Let's just take a look at drug use.

The following quotes are from the linked article.

White Americans are more likely than black Americans to have used most kinds of illegal drugs, including cocaine, marijuana and LSD. Yet blacks are far more likely to go to prison for drug offenses.

So much for your racial tendency theory.

Of the 225,242 people who were serving time in state prisons for drug offenses in 2011, blacks made up 45 percent and whites comprised just 30 percent, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics.

Black Americans make up less than 13% of the population, but constitute 45% of prisoners serving time for drug offenses. Combine this with the fact that whites are more likely to use and the problem should be obvious.

If you really cared to know, information on racial disparity in our criminal justice system isn't hard to find. The truth is that you simply don't care and are more comfortable using speculative 'what if' musings to justify your bigoted view of reality. Check out the following link as just one example:
