        I'd say it's more than a "few" that fucked it up for them.

        Take a look into the enrollment in the US prisons. Looks like a mudslide when you see them all going out to the courtyard.

            And look at the numbers of drug dealers along racial lines (out of prison). Blacks (and other minorities) predominantly spend more time in jail than their white counterparts for the same type of crimes (statistically speaking....can't say what the specifics of the crime were).

            According to most reports, people tend to buy drug from same race drug dealers and something like 3/4 of the drug users in the country are white (don't have time to cite a source, so someone feel free to correct me)

              Of the major racial/ethnic groups, the rate of drug use is highest among the American Indian/Native American population (10.6%) and those reporting mixed race (11.2%), followed by African Americans (7.7%), Hispanics (6.8%), whites (6.6%). The lowest rates are found among the Asian population. (3.2%).

                  At midyear 2008, there were 4,777 black male inmates per 100,000 black males held in state and federal prisons and local jails, compared to 1,760 Hispanic male inmates per 100,000 Hispanic males and 727 white male inmates per 100,000 white males.

                        Yea.. I don't think people really realize how many blacks are really in our prison system in comparison to other races.

                          You guys need to get out and see the world. I live in the ghetto of Dublin, and almost every single problem we ever have in our area is all done by your precious little white kids who could never have done anything wrong. They steal cars, burn cars, vandalize everything, starting fights, drugs, you name it. I will guarantee you that I would much rather be around any minority there because they mind there own business and stay out of trouble.

                          Weird that when white kids grow up in poor/rough situations, they do the same things that make you hate ALL black people. I better start hating all white people.

                            Like I have never left ND.

                            Please take a look at the percentages and maybe you can figure out why most of the crimes are by whities;

                            White 91.16%
                            Asian 2.63%
                            Black 1.81%
                            Mixed Race and Other 1.46%
                            Irish Traveller 0.4%

                              Actually, most of the crimes are by the smallest group, Irish Travellers. Im would guess over 50% of serious crimes are commited by them, and they are white just FYI.

                              As far as the statistics go, that is for all of Ireland, almost all of the country is white, the city is where minorities are so in my area, the minorities are higher than that, but still not overwhelming at all. My point wasn't so much about the percentage of crimes by race, but more that the white kids do the exact same things, sometimes worse when they grow up in the same ghetto conditions.

                                Well, the majority of the prison population is white -- just like the majority of the US population. However, i did pull some data off the BJS website and made this excel chart:

                                Essentially, blacks have a disproportionately high representation in the correctional system in the US.

                                One thing you cannot easily do from this website is get incarceration numbers by race and offense type as sort of a 2d matrix.

                                The often heard contention is that black people do prison time over drug offenses a much larger percentage of the time as compared to white folks. I cannot find the data to support or refute this.

                                So from my POV, i'd like to be able to run the numbers with more granularity. Do blacks show a propensity to violent offenses? If so, is it black-on-black violence, or mixed-race violence? How much of it is drug-related?

                                The FBI Hate Crime database does do some of that sort of data breakdown, and it is interesting.

                                The year-over-year prison population for drug related offenses was showing double digit growth in the mid 80s... i.e. during the Reagan war-on-drugs years. It's now back into the single digit range.

                                One interesting thing is that incarcerations in all categories nosedived in 2001. Wonder if people just chilled out over 9/11 or something?

                                  Where is your point here? The facts I posted above says enough. There are by far more blacks who cause crime in the US than there are whites. End of story.

                                    So you hate blacks because of this. Should I hate whites because they cause more crimes where I live?? If you had decent reading comprehension skills, you would easily get some point out of what i said.

                                      well, that may be true if you are counting uncounted crimes, but there is no data showing what you've claimed.

                                      the data clearly shows that the majority of US prisoners are white people. What you may have meant to say is that as a percentage of their total population, blacks have a higher rate incarceration. The data does show that quite definitively.

                                      As to the other comment earlier, the insinuation that black people commit crimes because they are poor is unsupported. The majority of welfare recipients in the USA are white (but so are the majority of ultra-wealthy people). To be able to say that low living stanard ==> prison, one would need to present some more compelling data. And even so, it would merely be correlating data, and not demonstrate causation.

                                        According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,
                                        Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), in 2002, 8.5
                                        percent of whites, and 9.7 percent of African-Americans reported using illegal drugs in
                                        the preceding month, and 9.3 percent of whites, and 9.5 percent of African-Americans
                                        reported themselves to be dependent on an illicit substance.

                                        So drug use is according to the above 2 sources, the use isn't much higher for blacks than whites (even if we use Bills source its not astronomically higher)

                                        [wikipedia wrote:
                                        (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_the_United_States)....hey they site their sources at least]<u>Characteristics of offenders</u>

                                        A subsequent United States Department of Justice report which surveyed homicide statistics between 1974 and 2004 stated that of the crimes surveyed for which the identity of the offender could be determined, 52.1% of the offenders were Black, 45.9% were White, and 2% were Other Races. Of the victims in those same crimes, 51% were White, 46.9% were Black, and 2.1% were Other Races. African Americans are disproportionately the offender in workplace killings. For example, in work place killings, 26.7% of offenders are Black out of a total African American population of about 13.4%. The report further noted that, "most murders are intraracial", with 86% of White murders committed by Whites, and 94% of Black murders committed by Blacks. [11] The document does not provide any details concerning what races or ethnicities are included in the designations "White", "Black", or "Other Races".
                                        As of 2001, the chances of going to prison in percentages for various demographic groups

                                        A February 1997 report on rape and sexual-based crime published by the United States Department of Justice stated that of the crimes surveyed, 56% of arrestees were White, 42% were Black, and 2% were of other races; although "Hispanic" was not recognized as a racial category, with Hispanics predominantly being grouped together with Non-Hispanic Whites. The report additionally noted that "victims of rape were about evenly divided between whites and blacks; in about 88% of forcible rapes, the victim and offender were of the same race."[12]

                                        So of the drug users we've established a slight black bias for use vs white; for
                                        For both 2004 and 2005, the percentage of incidents of rape or sexual assault with a white perpetrator and a black victim was 0.0, an estimate based on 10 or fewer sample cases. In contrast, in 2005, in cases where the victim was white, 33.6% of the perpetrators were black. In 2004, only 8.3% of the perpetrators were black.[13][14]

                                        According to "Hate Crime Reported by Victims and Police," a 2005 Bureau of Justice Statistics Special Report, hate crime offenders were most likely men (79%), strangers (51%), 30 or older (37.8%), and white (43.9%).[15] Although the raw number of whites charged with hate crimes is generally larger, the black rate per 100,000 is twice as high as the white rate.[16]

                                        Reporting at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association (August 3, 2008), sociologists at Bowling Green State University found that men who attend college are more likely to commit property crimes during their college years than their non-college-attending peers. The research draws from three waves of data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health and examines education, crime levels, substance abuse and socializing among adolescents and young adults.[17]

                                        So, we have established that while blacks use slightly more drugs than whites, the whites have a higher percentage of people convicted of homicide and rape/sex crimes.

                                          Auto theft, robbery, etc.

                                          But agian, your looking at one specific area of crime (drugs) as to the whole. Who gives a shit if they sell drugs or murder someone. They are still in prison. A crime is a crime.

                                          Inspector - You live in a town where white's like to cause chaos and crime. Do you care to share what the ratio of blacks to whites is there? I'm willing to be it's quite the astronomic ratio. Which would explain why there are few blacks commiting crimes.
