‘blacks with no criminal record suddenly develop a sense of solidarity”
That has not been my experience. Some Blacks are much harder on other Blacks than on Whites for the same crime. But most seem to judge equally. Ans of course, some are much easier on other Blacks.
It is the same way with those who identify White or Christian, or college educated. Some have higher expectations of their own group. Some have lower expectatins of their own group. Most pick and choose which identity is most important.
Most Christians think the identity of being Christian is most important. Of being Christian American is most important.
Yep. Black cops are much harder on Black criminals than White cops. The Black cops had to grow up in the hood. Revenge is sweet.
