This is less proof of white privilege than evidence of black victim-signalling.
If the percentage of blacks in prison vastly exceeds the proportion of blacks in the overall population, could it be because the percentage of imprisonable crimes commited by blacks is proprtionally higher? If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be black privilege if the number of blacks convicted was proportionally less, thereby evidencing favor in the sentencing of blacks versus whites for the same crime?
A greater proportion of the black population is criminal compared to the white population. It follows that blacks will be incarcerated in numbers proportionate to their criminality, not their occurrence in the sample pool.
Ultimately “it’s a culture issue.”
As a pale face, I quite agree with the official sentiments about the n-word. It’s demeaning, it hailed from the slave days. Its connotation is why later, more free-thinking authors came up with alternative terms like “darkie.” So by all means dear brothers and sisters of more melanin, would you please stop doing it to each other too? Such a mind set turns you into something closer to beasts. You’d sure expect similar results from the pale face set if they kept on calling each other trashy crackers and constantly snickered and chuckled about it. (Happily they don’t. We’re just rednecks.)
I actually went to the state and FBI websites and broke down the statistics.
Based on the fact that blacks committed crimes at a rate about 10 times higher than whites, I concluded that Iowa was either imprisoning too many whites or sentencing them to longer sentences than blacks.
