[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Not the PP, but given that Americans in general are that racist, it seems reasonable to assume that American teachers are too.

You really believe that Americans are that racist?  Really?[/quote]

I'm guessing you're a white person?

Let's start with this:  African Americans represent 12% of the total population of drug users, but 38% of those arrested for drug offenses, and 59% of those in state prison for a drug offense.

I am guessing you are a defensive black person?

Let's continue with this: African Americans represent over half of killers and murder victims, despite representing less than 13% of the population.

So?[/quote]

Actually, I am a white person. Specifically, I am a white person who realizes that racism did not go away when Martin Luther King gave his "I have a dream" speech and also did not go away with Obama's election in 2008.

I am also a white person whose point was that the criminal justice system is much harsher to black people arrested for drug offenses than to white people arrested for drug offenses. A comparable argument related to murder -- since you have brought up murder -- would have been that the criminal justice system is much harsher to black people accused of killing white people than white people accused of killing black people. Both of these points show that racism is institutionalized in the US. Whereas your point is supposed to show what? That black people like to murder each other?[/quote]
