Study Shows Poor White Kids Less Likely to be Imprisoned Than Rich Black Kids

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...-likely-to-go-to-prison-than-rich-black-kids/

This is an interesting study. Why do you think that rich black kids are incarcerated at a higher rate than poor White kids? Does race trump wealth as a determining factor as to whether young people are likely to become criminals?

Income itself doesn't explain the gaps between whites and blacks. Poor white kids also do better on their SAT's than rich black kids:

 

Do you think intelligence is the determining factor for incarceration rates?

 

No. I think committing crimes is the determining factor.

 

I think that academic success is a factor. Of course there are your Ted Kaczynski's of the world, but regardless of race, people who go to prison tend to have less academic achievements.

 

Unless I missed it, I didn't see what crimes they committed.
I would think the type of crime would make a difference in whether they were incarcerated or not.

 

Racism. Black that have been in prison can't serve on juries so they get the all white juries and their fool high priced Black lawyers can't get them off.

Those tests are written with white kids in mind. You never see a math question related to cooking crack, it's always about filling a swimming pool, baking cookies, miles per gallon.

Wouldn't that mean that the poor white kids that don't commit crimes have higher academic achievement in spite of being poor but the poor and rich Blacks lack the achievement. I guess you are saying that Blacks just don't want to put the effort in school and end up not wanting to work for what they want and have to steal.

 

That, and cultural and genetic propensity for violence.

There is very little violent crime in white Appalachia, which is one of the poorest areas of the country.

 

interesting so its not the environmental surroundings or lack of economic gain its culture

Birds of a feather flock together...

Is why.

 

like bernie sanders sparrow on the poduim and they think it was sign? emotional illusionary's

 

Nah the bird was just coming to get his share of the country's wealth...

The bird didn't work for it, but he deserves it anyway.

 

I think it has a lot to do with it.

Remember that Fox TV series "Cops' ? You saw a lot of stupid people getting poped by the cops, whites, blacks, Latinos.

Stupid criminals get caught.

Smart criminals don't get caught.

I grew up in the 60's and partied during the 60's and 70's during the era of sex, drugs and rock n roll. There were a lot of drugs and a lot of drug dealers, 99% were white but they weren't stupid dealing drugs out in the open on the streets. That's why there are so many blacks behind bars.

Whites also don't run away from the cops. They learned in science classes that a human can't outrun a bullet that's traveling over a thousand feet per second. If you stay in school, you learn (*)(*)(*)(*) like that.

It comes down to, smart people don't get caught as often when they break the law. Has nothing to do with skin color, just getting an education and being smart.

 

I concur.

I've driven through and associated with some people in the Appalachians, I noticed the poverty, these people are dirt poor. South Side Chicago, Compton, Harlem, Oakland are like beverly Hills compared to Appalachia when it comes to poverty. But little real violent crime to speak of. No gangs, no crack dealers on the streets, didn't even see one freaking hooker on the streets. But they still have stills and moonshine.

 

Indeed. Old saying is "If you don't wanna do the time, don't commit the crime." White, black, rich or poor it's all the same thing.

 

Blacks crime is cake built of one part poverty, one part education, and fifty parts culture.

Libs want to ignore the culture part and pretend the problem is all about poverty, stupidity, and of course White racism.

The key to defeating all Black problems is culture and liberals damn well know it.

Just as they damn well know the key to defeating terrorism is Muslim culture.

But they won't address it.

Why?

Because libs need Blacks kept right where they are ..in the permanent underclass ..voting Democrat ..and staying belligerently angry at White people.

Libs care about being in power so they've cultivated a nice little herd of human voter cattle and they're stuffing the pens.

 

No doubt.

The leftist world will never allow this fact to change anything.

 

... Or the Asian ghettos of old.

So many inconvenient facts....

 

Intelligence correlates well with respect for future consequences. The stupid don't give a rip about tomorrow.

 

You know, your sig had me pegging you for a Leftist. Are you simply a conservative that doesn't like Trump? Who was your first choice? I'm just curious is all, no hard feelings. My first choice, well, I danced around a bit before Marco Rubio pulled me in. Rarely has the GOP had such a smart candidate. I look forward to hopefully getting my career started, getting elected to Washington and working with men like him.

 

Rule of law conservative, baby.

Rubio is a sell out POS. He betrayed my trust in FL. He worked the Tea Party like a ten dollar whore.

 

I pretty much hold his present position on immigration: Look, we're not going to be able to get rid of all 12 million and it might not even be all that desirable. So let's have a micromanaging system in place that allows us to kick out the people we absolutely need to kick out, put people on a system where if they don't meet certain requirements they'll also leave and then we'll have a slow integration process, possibly up to 4 million. And not all at the same time mind you. But in phases and steps. All qualified candidates would hopefully clear the system within 4-6 years in my ideal world.

 

Doesn't change the fact he's a sellout POS.

 

Yeah, he probably is a sellout to the TP cause by appearing as an anti-amnesty candidate, when in fact he's for a limited integration.(Which I honestly think is the best we can do, and is the best that like he said, can actually get past Congress.) I also think it's very smart if we do it right: Target those who are smart, educated and already bringing something of value. They should be able to pay taxes and be involved in the community.

And he's right that none of that can get done, until Washington PROVES the border's secure. He had some very strong debates and his only weakness is that he was taken off his game, first by Chris Christie and then by Donald Trump. But he clearly was the future of the GOP.

If it were me on the debate stage when Chris Christie pulled that stunt on repeating himself, I would've been like: "Chris, you don't wanna go there with me. Because I'll make this so personal. How many times have you talked about being aggressive against Iran? Jeb, how much have you talked about compassion? Trump? His very existence is on "make America great". The point is, every politician has a slogan. But that slogan is not the makeup of the campaign. It's certainly not the makeup of my campaign, you can find that out by checking out my website and talking to my supporters and decide for yourself whose best positioned to be commander in chief of our country."

They would've been silenced in MINUTES. That's how you attack cheap stunts like what Christie and Trump do.
