We (black people) keep ourselves down. The stories I could tell you. Everyone wants to blame the white man, but what happens when the white man isn't around? \nNO white person is telling these kids not to go to school. I know a girl whose mother let her skip the entire school year. I know kids that are proud to be 18 years old and in the 9th grade. A lot of black kids I know hate school and you can't tell them anything.\nI know black that hate me because I went to college and their child didn't. I've lost jobs because of that and left one because of it. We won't hold each other accountable for our actions. Blaming the white man is easy.\nI refuse to blame the white man for something in my community. I've seen too many people try to help blacks and give up because it fell on deaf ears.

I just attended a lecture yesterday that talked about these very statistics.  Our crime rate is actually going down, but our rate of incarceration is going up.  This reflects the US' "war on crime" and "war on drugs" started in the late 70s, early 80s (Reagan, mostly).  It's because we are taking action and using incarceration as the solution.  To really properly analize these numbers, you also have to look at the crime rates of all these nations (we also score very poorly, there, so you still have a point).  The statistics for african-americans is even worse - something like 6000+ african-american inmates per 100,000.

I believe that it does.  Even in states where there are a ton of ethnicity's like New York it happens.  I also be live that there is profiling against teens.  I am also not sure that this profiling is just black.  I believe that more and more people of middle eastern back-round have been experiencing profiling.  I would hope that many police do not do it on purpose while I know many do.  Ignorance is bliss and I believe that these people of authority need to be enlightened that there are many different people in this nation... . That is what makes this the USA.  Perhaps some training on a bi-annual basis would help, but I do not think it is something that will ever be eliminated.  Sad as far as I am concerned!

I would believe it was much harder for all minorities, period, in decades past then it is today. We have so much more opportunities offered to us because of past struggles that were won by REAL civil rights leaders in this country (Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcom X) as opposed to the substitute teachers we have today telling us that things are still bad and will continue to tell us things are still bad as long as they are getting rich (Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson). Racism still exists, but the law isn't protecting that anymore. We have been allowed to rise up, go to school, be productive and compete side-by-side. As my father has taught me, you are only respected if you respect yourself. Once you have that, respect will be given and well-earned.

Andy Rooney  said on "60 Minutes" a few weeks back:    \n\nWhen 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling, it is the Law of Probability. \n\nI don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens...Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.

I used to live there from 1980-1984.  I live about 60 miles west of Tuscaloosa now in Columbus, Mississippi.  I go every once and a while to do some shopping, but not that often. I remember the day that Bear Bryant died.  I was in second grade I think, and school let out early because of it.  My mom took me to a department store named Wilson's and bought me a box that had ET and Reece's Pieces in it.  Hell of a memory, huh?!

I don't have an answer to that question, except maybe bad press. I just wanted to say that I agree with you. Muslims seem to be way more violent than blacks. The funny thing is that they have the nerve to use RELIGION as a reason for the violence.

ask bill cosby.  he knows.\n\n"Brown Versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person’s problem. We’ve got to take the neighborhood back (clapping). We’ve got to go in there. Just forget telling your child to go to the Peace Corps. It’s right around the corner. (laughter) It’s standing on the corner. It can’t speak English. It doesn’t want to speak English. I can’t even talk the way these people talk. “Why you ain’t where you is go, ra,” I don’t know who these people are. And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk (laughter). Then I heard the father talk. This is all in the house. You used to talk a certain way on the corner and you got into the house and switched to English. Everybody knows it’s important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can’t land a plane with “why you ain’t…” You can’t be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth. There is no Bible that has that kind of language. Where did these people get the idea that they’re moving ahead on this. Well, they know they’re not, they’re just hanging out in the same place, five or six generations sitting in the projects when you’re just supposed to stay there long enough to get a job and move out."

Seeing how 85% of the ground combat troops are white and that the same percentage killed in action are white I'd say know.  It is a common myth began during the 1960's that minorities were the most likely to be drafted and sent to combat.  It was not true then and even less so now.

too many of us to count. (I am white, I came to US about 10 years ago, even though my ancestors had nothing to do with it I did get asked that question because of the color of my skin, which sounds pretty racist to me)

I don't know about anywhere else, but where I live, \nPolice are arogant S.O.B.'s \nI can't count on one hand how many times I drove by a posted police cruiser, and the bastard was sleeping. \n\nAnd then the day that my friend got jumped by 36 highschool students, we were RIGHT DOWN THE STREET from the police station. I was looking at it the whole time. And it took them 45 minutes to respond to 27 phone calls within 30 minutes. \nAs a result, the 36 students had plenty of time to send my friend into convultions from kicking his head around.

At Davis - Caucasian and Asian are about the - both with about 40%. \n\nAt UC San Diego - its also about tied between Caucasians and Asians. About 37/36% - and it switches from year to year. \n\nUC Irvine is about 55% Asian. \n\nUCLA is predominantly Asian now, with Caucasians in 2nd. UCLA's Asian population is about 43%. \n\nBehind Caucasian at all of the listed schools would be Latino/Latina. \n\nBehind that would be African Americans\n\nBehind African Americans would be Native Americans. \n\n-\n\nAn important note is that most of these polls clump Filipinos and the Desi population into the Asian Category - so they might be artificially inflated. For example - at Irvine, sure there are a lot of Chinese/Korean/Vietnamese - however, not 55% - combined with Filipinos and its desi population - yea it makes up 55%.

I think it has definitely gone down a bit.  But it could still go down more.  I'm a minority and even though I go to a school that seems like it doesn't discriminate on the outside, it still does.  I'm waiting for the day that the outside of my school will match the inside.\n\nBut till then, racism can still go down a lot.

Mr. Cherry, a former truck driver, moved to Texas in the early 1970s. He found work as a clerk, a welder and a cabdriver. He reportedly had been married five times and had 15 children.\n\nI'm not really sure how long he was in public schooling.  I didn't have time to read all of these articles, but here's some for you:\n\nhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A61428-2004Nov18.html\n\nhttp://afroamhistory.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.al.com/specialreport/%3Fbombing/97%2Dcherry1.html
