Right. Affirmative action. Diversity quotas. Section 8. Minority college grants and aid. Priority hires of minorities. Equal pay act. You're so right. The government has done nothing for minorities.
As far as the jail thing goes, what are the courts supposed to do? Let a criminal go just because they are black? Nonsense. Complete nonsense.

Government does not have these programs because they are altruistic- let's get that straight. Government wants people DEPENDENT on them.
Racism, segregation, and Jim Crow did exist so some of these programs seemed 'appropriate' at the times.
I was referring to blacks getting arrested for drugs 4x per capita.

And yet minorities benefit from these programs and want more. Maybe, just maybe, the reason there are more blacks in jail because more blacks are committing crimes. We already know that 13% of the population is responsible for 50% of violent crime. So is it not possible that that same 13% might also have a greater amount of drug and other non-violent crimes? Oh right. Forget personal responsibility. Blame whitey.

He doesn't care enough about black lives to live near them. Hence why he hopped on the "white flight" bandwagon to Vermont in the '60s.
