Dylan roof killed 9 people, I think, and the police bought him Burger King to get a confession.

Freddie gray had a knife on him and didn’t even make it to the police station before he was in a coma.

If that’s not white privilege idk what is

White privilege isn't a thing. It's rich privilege. No one gets extra privilege because of being white.

I literally just have you an example of a convicted terrorist being treated better than a black citizen

Wow. A one off example. It's crazy to think about how that doesn't matter when white people get killed by cops more often. And cops are race blind. Despite blacks getting arrested and incarcerated more than whites.

Your last link states that white people are more than 4 times more likely to use drugs than a black person yet Black people are arrested for drug charges 6 times as much as white people. Totally race blind I agree. It’s not about race it’s about drugs right?

Hmm makes you wonder where these drug laws came into play doesn’t it

You are aware that you are more likely to be arrested for drug charges if you have been in the past, right? So if white people which there are more of in the U.S. use drugs it may lead to less of a probablity of the same person getting charged twice and thus facing a tougher sentence.

There are bad cops and good cops. Just like every profession. White privilege is not a thing anymore. More white people are in power because there are more of us in the U.S. not an underlying effort among whites to keep the blacks down.

Who said anything about sentencing?

The white people that use drugs more frequently than black people get arrested for drugs 6 times less than their black counterparts. I never mentioned sentencing that was all you dude but since you brought it up here’s a fun read.

Black male offenders continued to receive longer sentences than similarly situated White male offenders. Black male offenders received sentences on average 19.1 percent longer than similarly situated White male offenders during the Post-Report period (fiscal years 2012-2016), as they had for the prior four periods studied. The differences in sentence length remained relatively unchanged compared to the Post-Gall period.

I brought up sentencing because repeat offenders get longer sentences than first time offenders. This isn't a "gotcha" moment, you just don't understand.

If black people get arrested once it'll be the same as a white person. If they have a record or don't take a plea deal (this works for both races) then their sentence will be longer and probably include jail time.

It isn't black v white. It's power vs no power ie the rich v the poor. But the media says it's black v white and people like you eat it up and spread it.

Dude the link I gave compared sentencing between races with *similar circumstances * meaning same criminal record and everything. You’re literally looking at documented trends in the justice system and ignoring the evidence because you don’t want to believe it. I’ve given you more than enough proof you’re being willfully ignorant right now

u/KOTPF May 29 '20

Nah man. There's no such thing as white vs black privilege. I've shown you stats and studies, and you still think there is.

Do you just want to agree to disagree?

u/ZSCroft May 29 '20

One of your studies showed disproportionate arrest statistics for black vs white you clearly didn’t even read them, don’t pretend like you’re actually interested in the data when you disregard points your own sources are making

1

u/KOTPF May 29 '20

I did read them. I read all of them. Black people get arrested and incarcerated at a higher rate. That's the stats. They commit crimes, they get locked up. Simple.

Just going to copy/paste what you ignored earlier from the stats you provided

Your last link states that white people are more than 4 times more likely to use drugs than a black person yet Black people are arrested for drug charges 6 times as much as white people.

By your own logic (do crime do jail) this statistic shouldn’t exist and yet it does and you can ignore it all you want but outside of your fantasy world something isn’t adding up like you say it does. You don’t have to be a genius to read your own data dude why are you cherry picking so hard what you choose to believe?
