If I ever ran for anything, and I was asked - I'll be the first to admit to everything I've done. I can't understand why politicians would rather take the chance on their dirt never airing rather than squashing it up front. And no, I don't currently partake in the mara-ja-wana. I get drug tested here at work randomly, so I'd rather have a paycheck, than a buzz.

No no no no no no no no no no. I NEVER said anything about FEMA cards. I was speaking only of Red Cross cards. But, since you bring it up, I would be even more outraged to see my tax dollars abused over things like $250.00 braclets, $800.00 coats, $40.00 worth of cigarettes, or any unsaid amount on alcohol. But I'm sure if it happened with the Red Cross cards, it will surely happen with the FEMA cards too.

We do have a racist judicial system. I never denied that. And yes, If driving a Honda Accord sedan while listening to Hush-Bimbo was the profile - damn straight I'd reset my pre-sets to 104.9. The last thing I want is to be hassled by the cops. So yes, I'll do whateve it takes to be left alone. Oh, and I already listen to Hip-hop. I just don't emulate it in real life.

This is a disgustingly true statement. Technically the money is theirs to do with as they please. I guess one would just hope that it would be spent only on the necessities.

Alcohol, or all drugs in general?

You're right. I'll concede that one to you.

Okay, I see the context of your question now. If prisons are made up largely of drug offenders (approx 53%), and whites along with blacks both use drugs equally, then why are there more blacks in prison than whites (percentage-wise)? Well, the best answer is that if I get pulled over in my modest four door car, not playing rap music, wearing clothes that are not exceptionally baggy - or that are emulative of the "thug/gangsta rap" nature, and speak politely to the police officer, then I'm 10 times LESS likely to get searched for my nickel bag of marijuana in my front pocket. Is that right? Maybe - maybe not. Conservatives say "yes", Liberals say "no". I say yes because I don't fit the profile, but then of course I say no because of the nickel bag in my pocket. My point is that if you look like a duck, walk like a duck, and quack like a duck - then just maybe, you might be a duck. Thats why certain people hate police profiling, and why others simply don't mind it. If you met me, you'd never think in a million years that I'm a duck (metaphorically speaking) - but let tell you one thing: "quack - quack"

Of all numbers I would think accurate, it would be one of a prison system. Its not like the U.S. census. When you do a head count, EVERYONE is counted. Now polls & surveys - yes, they are single handly the work of biased media.

You're right, I apologize. I meant to say that I would have never taken them serious in any political arena. You're right, I shouldn't generalize.

Desperation? Why else would you even post this? Even in black & white you still can't accept the truth when presented.

Your original question to me: Then your reply to my question resquesting proof of your statement: So, to answer your original question of: "If, percentage wise, blacks use drugs less than whites why do they have a higher percentage in prison?", my answer is that you proved that your question holds no validity. You proved to yourself that blacks & whites both statistically use the same amount of drugs based on percentage. So trying to figure out why there are more blacks in prison even though they use less drugs is moot. And to answer your second question of: "where is your "theary" on the higher percentage of balcks in prison?", is that there is a higher percentage of blacks in prison because a higher percentage of black people, according to the Federal Prison System website, have been convicted of felonies.

They were also racist extremists that weren't taken serious in any political arena.

Okay.. So first prove that blacks use drugs & alcohol less than whites do, and then I'll address your question. You and nmainguy are still batting zero when it comes to factual conversation by the way. Oh, and how is pointing out the factual truth about a race considered bashing again? I said nothing negative about any race. I only pointed out the numbers & percentages. No to mention the proof to back my statements. Still batting zero..

I can easily say the same from this side of the fence about your lack of factual content in your posts. So pointing out your own faults in other people still does you no good. Sorry, try again.

You're right. I stooped to nmainguy's level by making such a sweeping assumption. My apologies.

I showed some facts. Now lets see some facts about these driving surveys you talk about. You do have some facts.. don't you?

I stand corrected. It seems that there is something black people exceed white people in - federal prison population percentages: US Population By Race Federal Prison Population By Race It seems that with some simple math, that the white population has approximately .0005 % of its people in federal prison. The black population has approximately .003% of its people in prison. All fact - no opinion.

Considering that whites make up over double what blacks make in the population, I don't see how you could ever find more blacks that do anything more than whites. That's why blacks are the minority.. remember?

I never said that - you assumed that. Again, another token trait of a liberal.

The difference is that you probably weren't chronically getting your "drink on" everyday prior to Katrina, as they most likely were.

Fanatical people weren't the least bit organized the way they are today. That's what I meant by there were no liberals.

It may have been his idea originally (unconfirmed), but it was passed by Clinton in 1994.

I saw that MidtownCoog just recieved that title under his post-count. What & Where is it?!?!?

I think its sad that this is even an issue. I wonder though, why couldn't temporary schools for New Orleans high schoolers be opened here? It seems high school is where the most conflict occurs.
