For the first time since the war on drugs became a national law enforcement obsession in the mid-1980s, the number of African-Americans in state prisons for drug offenses has declined, a criminal justice reform organization said.
The number of whites in state prison for drugs rose 42.6 percent since 1999, while blacks dropped 21.6 percent. The number of whites in state prison for drugs rose 42.6 percent since 1999, while blacks dropped 21.6 percent. A study released Tuesday by the Sentencing Project found a 21.6 percent drop in the number of blacks incarcerated for drug offenses, a decline of 31,000 people, from 1999 to 2005. The corresponding number of whites in state prisons for drug offenses rose 42.6 percent, or by more than 21,000 people, while the number of Hispanics was virtually unchanged, according to "The Changing Racial Dynamics of the War on Drugs." The study, authored by Executive Director Marc Mauer, found that the differences between black and white imprisonments for drug crimes are partly because of how police target suspects and court sentencing guidelines, which vary by state. Also, there has been a decrease in the use of crack cocaine in predominantly minority urban neighborhoods and an increase in methamphetamine abuse in many primarily white rural areas, Mauer said Wednesday.

1 But still, I think I know what color of person I'd rather walk past at night without fear of getting robbed......don't think I'd get robbed by a white guy around here. Just ain't going to happen. So grats, less blacks in jail for drugs, but yet the black population takes the biggest piece of the pie of incarcerated people, by far. It's just not drugs anymore, now its raping, killing, beating their wives. Welcome back to the jungle I guess. Now going afk to do some of my drugs. |

I figured this wouldve got more response from the idiots that post drivel on this forum.
Whats was that Uh Oh said...they will ignore it. I expect Chylloh,triplevamp,dynamo hum and richard to chime in whenever possible. I am curious as to why they are being so afraid to come in here. |
||||
I usually dont chime in on most posts when it comes to racial stats and crap. Any idiot can see that drugs are nto just a black problem but a national epidemic that we all share in the burden of. I try to spend most of my times though talking about politics so if u dont mind id like to get back to that and leave all the name calling and the hatered to all of u that fill u are really making a point when in reality all u are doing is wasting time, but of course it is your time and i respect that |

That's just why I post on here; these people don't seem to see that drugs and crime is a national epidemic. It's like they live in another world or something. And yes, my friends tell me that its a waste of time as well, but these crazy people get on here and rally like everyone shares their racist opinions. I get on here to remind them they have a short following...
Thanks for being the voice of reason though Richard.:)

What is the purpose of your post? To prove how angelic you think your race is? Watch the TV news-- most of the time I hear news reports of blacks killing other blacks. Not to mention commiting a variety of other crimes. About 13 percent of the population is black, and FIFTY percent of the prison population is black. So what does THAT tell you? |
||||
YOUR post has no point. Everyone with any intelligence knows that the news stigmatizes minorities. It attracts attention. Some people tune in JUST to hear about crimes committed by minorities. Makes them feel justified for their ignorant racism. See? You proved my point on that one. "Watch the TV news-- most of the time I hear news reports of blacks killing other blacks. "-Your comment, in case your memory fails you, LOL. Now, you seemed to have missed this part of the last post, so I'll repost just for you. "The number of whites in state prison for drugs rose 42.6 percent since 1999, while blacks dropped 21.6 percent." WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU??? Begin the backpedaling and excuses now... |
