I told you not to make unwarranted assumptions. It hasn't done any good - which tells me you don't have control of yourself...and are ruled by your fears.

I don't know the modern south, and in the old south rape by a bum of any color was treated very harshly (although Faulkner, Tennessee Williams, and others had quite a few unflattering things to say about that culture, and they knew it damned well). But I know for sure that race played a role in the administration of "justice" and still plays a role.

What that role is cannot be determined without looking at the particulars of each case. In Los Angeles, Rodney King turned out to be a bum who got just what he deserved. Junior Allen seems to have been a bum who was punished far beyond what he deserved - probably due to prejudice.

More generally, blacks commit crimes far beyond their numbers, and achieve far less than their numbers, but DWB (driving while black) is a real phenomenon and not something they, or liberals, invented. I leave it to you to tell me why white collar criminals - overwhelmingly of the white race - are so leniently punished.

Are they actual true memories or LSD induced?

Now, now. If you want to be treated like a lady you must act like one.

Now who's assuming facts not in evidence? Or are we to assume that everybody South of the Mason/Dixon line is a seething racist redneck?
