No.
Humans have created racial categories just like we have created other categories. But, feel free to revoke your categorized life and live in a tree for the rest of your existence.

Well I don't know. I think the driving while black thing, in everyday situations, is pretty bad. However, the whole black celeb thing can get a little dicey. I mean, in my situation (from Atlanta), think about the decisions the police have to make. I agree that an ordinary black guy driving home getting pulled over is probably a bad use of racial profiling. But in town, where you have a lot of shady things going on involving rappers and such, I think the scrutiny is warranted. It depends on the situation, for example my neighborhood really doesnt have any black families, so someone driving through in a tinted window car with rims would raise eyebrows. I'm not saying they should get pulled over just for it, but I understand the suspicion behind it in certain situations.

Wake me when everyone finishes cutting and pasting statistics.

Because you prefer ignorance to fact?

Because I can smell laypersons with newly found "facts" a mile away.

How ridiculous that I post compiled facts into my own report and then someone tries to downplay them by creating some notion that I found them from some non-credible source. I don't know how the US Justice Department fits into that category.

So, What does all of The BS posted have anything to do with the subject of the Original Thought on this post?
Actually, nothing!

Dunno Tom, but now the stripper is claiming that one of the lacrosse players drugged her drink at the party. This keeps getting better and better. Why wait for a month to pass?

And now I can smell ignorance.
It smells like poo.
Oh I'm sure the justice departments "facts" don't work for you because they have always been just a bunch of racist whiteys. That's the story the stripper is trying to play off on too.

You have such an active imagination, which only supports my points.

The poster asked if you got that directly from their publication or from the various commentaries of their publications.
When you look at the USDOJ websites and publications, it is difficult to find that exact publication. However, when you Google what you posted, it comes right up in the various articles written on the topic.
ETA: These articles indicate that the info comes from the USDOJ but do not provide a complete citation for the publication.
You could've easily solved this issue by providing a weblink to the publication.

Step 1: Go to US Department of Justice official website.
Step 2: Search for "Statistics"
Step 3: Use mouse to click on weblink that will show you full statistical breakdowns.
Step 4: Read
I didn't go anywhere else to any other outside sources besides those within this website. Figured that would eliminate some bias.

It's pretty easy to see the point. He said that in proportion to the racial makeup of the country, there is a higher proportion of African-Americans in jail.
I mean that is if English hasn't changed in the past few days.
