Here's a condensed version.

The graph is bull**** and doesn't tell us what it needs to.

What isn't true? The only thing you can get out of those graphs is that a black man smoking marijuana is more likely to be in jail for that crime than a white man smoking marijuana.

Show me where it says that.

My questions are why there a discrepancy between the sources that UCF08 sites?? Why is one from the national household survey and one from the FBI? Do matter in the discussion? I mean it looks good that they are very similar in the style of graphing but where does this data come from and what does it really mean?

Maybe Blacks have to sell drugs to supplement their income and white merely buy drugs. Law enforcement focuses on sellers and not buyers.

I can agree with that. We all have biases that have shaped our views of society. That being said, I consciously try to throw those out as judge each person on their own merits and not society in general.

Except white kids and their parents in the suburbs. They obviously still have their 'How To Distrust Black People' meetings.

I don't know that they sell more, but they are certainly more open and risky about selling. When I lived in Philly and was a pothead, I could always purchase a dime bag of schit pot on the street corner as a last resort when campus was dry. To buy from someone on campus, you had to get connected and gain trust and then be extremely discreet (not talk on the phone or use code words etc) or you'd get cut off. If you are selling on the street corner, I'd imagine your odds of getting busted go up exponentially. I never purchased any on the street corner from a white person.

Everyone is naturally racist because humans are tribal in nature. The easiest tribal identity is that of appearance. There is no solution to this problem as it resides in our DNA. All that can be done is to mitigate the situation through personnel interactions that allow one to base more of their judgements on individual merits vice broad based metrics. That's not something that can occur at the Presidential level, which begs the question of why BHO is mentioning such a thing in the first place.

Extremely well put. Barrack Obama, like most liberals do not understand this concept or refuse to accept its truth, and think they can change human nature. Liberals continuously try failed social engineering tactics that have been tried and failed since the first civilized society.

BHO is racist himself, as is Holder and the rest of this Admin.

I think Obama, along with his administration uses race a political firebrand to stoke the base. It's proven to be an effective tool to keep the citizenry from focusing on important domestic and international issues that transcend melanin content.

I think that you guys are racist.

Those guys think you are racist too.

Why am I not surprised - you look at everything through a race colored lens. It allows you to find racism even when there might not be any. Kind of like when the Dallas county official opined that lost paperwork seemed like it entered a "black hole" and a couple of the black members of council took it as an offense against black people..........

It doesn't get put much clearer than that.

Let me guess, that pic raised quite the uproar as it traveled through the left wing social media sites. There's no way that could be fake.
