And what’s the “arrest disparity” between
“female Asian teenagers”
and
“male Black teenagers”.

Obviously, the disparity COULDN’T be due to behavioral tendencies
and must be due to racism!

[MrB]

A CULTURE prone to crime, not a “race”.
There is nothing in their genetic code that’s giving them a proclivity towards crime.

Cause - welfare state replacing fathers
Effects: fatherless households -> criminal teenagers

Cause - welfare state replacing fathers

The welfare state replaced husbands, and then street gangs replaced families.

Judging by murder statistics, blacks commit crime at almost 10 times the white rate, so one would hope to see almost 10 times the arrest rate.

Yes, and the apologists for black crime should take care. The racist treehouse is in a tree built by staggeringly incriminating facts.

“something needs to be done about this”????? Yes. Maybe the effected racial groups need to stop living thug lives, get a job, go to work and be “normal”. Is that asking too much? Am I a “racist” for thinking this way? Do I give a rat’s a**?

There are not too many occurrences of WHITE guys shooting WHITE guys here in Chicago. Some but not many.

Either that or just arrest enough whites to balance the numbers, no crime needed. Or arrest whites for thought crimes. Think of it as affirmative action.

That's what schools have been doing to make the disciplinary numbers come out better.

Yeah. The commenters at Yahoo are often more informed than the person who wrote the article.
