Joseph quoting me: “This does not explain why when two individuals who are pulled over for the EXACT SAME CRIME–no question, both are guilty, whites get treated one way and blacks the other.”
Joseph: That’s your presumption which has no factual basis.
ME: That is actually not true. Google “statistics blacks treated more harshly than whites police” and you will get quite a bit
ALso, this general discussion shows why Congress can get nothing done, and why increasingly people are polarizing and unable to talk to each other.
Both sides cannot admit the other sides points and reach compromise. As I see it, it is both true that blacks are treated harsher by police, but to some degree, profiling works.
But we cannot have the discussion about whether profiling is fair because one side wont admit it exists, and the other argues that profiling does not work, when A)it exists, and B) it works, but C) should we use it?
