[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the parent of a mixed race kid (AA and white) who is 2- this is already on our minds when looking at schools.

My DH was (and is still) friends with mostly wealthy, white kids. One kid took the cops on a high speed chase through HoCo after being pulled over for a DUI. He got probation and a fine. [b]If he was a minority, he would've been shot. [/b]

You have no idea whether this is true. For a couple of years now the press has been pushing this story that police killings of blacks are endemic and it's simply not true -- they are extremely rare and often associated with threatening activity on the part of the victim of the shooting. In a country of 300 million there will always be individual incidents that are egregious. You can make anything seem common by just amplifying those incidents all over the papers.

I was on the jury for an African-American kid who led the police on a high-speed chase through both DC and Maryland and ended up crashing. He didn't get shot or even injured, although he put many other people in great danger. He got a very brief jail sentence (in months), so it wasn't probation, but he certainly wasn't shot. [/quote]

My H is a cop and they absolutely beat black males at a higher rate for no good reason.

You are insane if you think black people get less or same jail time as whites.[/quote]

I call bull on your H being a cop....please just stop. [/quote]
