CALIFORNIA IS ABOUT TO GET EVEN WORSE
Powerline ^ | 03/04/202r | John Hinderaker

You might think that the leftists who run California would be worried about the rapid decline of that state, but no: they are doing all they can to accelerate it. ***Heather Mac Donald outlines California’s latest descent into racialist madness:

What would happen if lawmakers reinvented the criminal-justice system to target “systemic racism” instead of crime? California is about to find out. Thanks to a 2020 law called the California Racial Justice Act, every felon serving time in the state’s prisons and jails can now retroactively challenge his conviction and sentencing on the ground of systemic bias.

To prevail, the incarcerated prisoner need not show that the police officers, prosecutors, judge or jurors in his case were motivated by racism or that his proceedings were unfair. If he can demonstrate that in the past, criminal suspects of his race were arrested, prosecuted or sentenced more often or more severely than members of other racial groups, he will be entitled to a new trial or sentence.

We all know what this is about. Blacks are arrested, prosecuted and convicted more often than members of other races because they commit more crimes. Heather has some of the numbers for California:

In Los Angeles, blacks are 21 times as likely as whites to commit a violent crime, 36 times as likely to commit a robbery, and 57 times as likely to commit a homicide, according to police department data. Those data come from reports filed by victims and witnesses, who are themselves disproportionately black.

Blacks over-offend to an appalling degree in other states, too. But liberals cling to the hoary myth that “disparities” in law enforcement can only be due to racial bias in criminal jutice.

The Racial Justice Act is turning California’ criminal justice system into a farce***

Where politicians fear to tread. We need truth sayers and those who champion accountability.

Be a shame if Gavin’s limo got hit head-on by a drunk illegal in a carjacked vehicle.

I always ask, how does the racist system treat the orientals when it comes to arrests and convictions?

If the system is so racist why isn’t it reflected in Oriental/American statistics?

Nationally, it is 12 does 60.

Seems like in LA they are doing much more than 5 times.

It’s an open secret everyone whose white knows the KKK gives a pass to those of the Oriental persuasion.
Why?

Your percentage includes 1 year old children, 97 year old grandmothers etc.

Try this: Black males between 17-41 years old are 3% of the population. They commit over 50% homicides.

Give you free stuff.
Give you more free stuff for every child you have.
Give you even more free stuff if you aren't married.

So now we have generations of black people with no father in the house to provide discipline or a good example of a provider for his family.

And now the government that created the mess wants to let them out of prison.

So they can go out and cause even more problems.

But that's okay - the government will step in and fix those problems.

The ENTIRE thing is to destroy families, destroy society so that the government can grow bigger and more powerful.

And while white moms are also in this situation, I wonder why it is so much more prevalent with black mothers?

Presumably that includes the entire black vs the entire white population.

That's a big Duhh... But the MSM works overtime to obfuscate and hide that fact from us.

“Blacks are arrested, prosecuted and convicted more often than members of other races because they commit more crimes.”

Which explains the crime wave sweeping America today. Mass incarceration worked.

The Identity agenda purposely confuse race with culture. I know that you are aware of the difference. Culture is that social function that teaches the next generation the behavior which benefits survival. If the youth are taught that criminal activity is the way to go, criminals they will be. Thus, law enforcement is bringing more of them into the justice system than other cultures. The Asian culture has a deep respect for the rules of civil behavior. So does main-stream Americans; many of them being Christian. I know I simplified the way it is. Giving an university dissertation is not my thing.

A return to the poll tax would change that dynamic overnight.

I am writing a letter to the editor of the Baton Rouge, Louisiana Morning Advocate challenging the postings from a couple of ‘chicken littles’ criticizing the recent passage of the Louisiana Permit-less Carry law.

I would like to use your statistics in my letter and would appreciate a link to your data source to rebut the inevitable challenges. Many thanks.

Good. Let the blacks live in their own s holes. They created the culture and need to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

“”””Culture is that social function that teaches the next generation the behavior which benefits survival. If the youth are taught that criminal activity is the way to go, criminals they will be.””””

That doesn’t hold up if one looks at the entire world with all of its cultures and their foreignness to each other, in every country with blacks they fit a pattern.

Culture is generational and will ignore other cultural solutions even when the culture they live in holds the best way for them.
