In America why do police target non white people more than whites?

because non-whites commit most of the crimes

No, its not just you though I can't blame them.  Our country, particularly our government, has an air of arrogance about it.  I suppose this stems from Americanizing other cultures and our self proclaimed "world police" status.  While these stereotypes do not apply to individuals, that perception of our nation as a whole bleeds into people's attitudes towards us on a personal level.

Its simple really.....its the same quota system the white people put into place to discriminate against themselves. Being a republican i really don't understand the why....just the how.

Because they commit more crimes. A better question would be, why do minorities commit more crimes? The answers to that question are complex.

Well, the people who bombed the building in Oklahoma City were white Americans.  Guess you should profile them too.

Well, I am a "minority" and I have gotten out of tickets just by being respectful and smiling at the police officer, and admitting I did something wrong.  The remark about "being a Caucasian" probably came from some loser who likes riding the "I'm a minority" bandwagon and blames everyone else for their own actions.

No. the 'white' people in America think that their 'democratic' system is better than the systems found in certain other countries.

1. A greater % of minorities grow up in the innercity, where crime is rampent (sp?). So a great % of minorities turn to crime.\n\n2. On average, white people can afford better lawyers than black people. Again, because of the innercity thing.

I can understand that the laws may sound this way when reading them.  However, the result I notice in the workplace on a daily basis does not reflect this at all.  I see more white males and females in the workplace than anything else.  Minorities are minorities for a reason...there are less of them.  So...you see more of the majority in the workforce.

I think you meant to ask " Why are there more African-Americans in jail than any other race?". I believe that there must be more African-Americans committing crimes than any other race. I would guess that the percentage of who gets caught is close to equal across all races. Therefore, the more crimes, the more caught. We all know what's illegal, so those that choose to break the law might just have to suffer the consequences of their actions. I hope this has been helpful.

Check out this really good article: "The Emerging Paradigm for Policing Multiethnic Societies:  Glimpses from The American Experience", available at: http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/nij/publications/specialissue/10McDonald.pdf\n\nLook through the paper's endnotes to find other sources on the topic...there seems to be a lot there.

Pick an ethnicity and you'll find thieves and fighters. When the show focused on particular groups or areas, it was only one show of many. Another show would focus on another group. I do agree that when noncitizens commit crimes (especially repeatedly) they should be sent back to their home country. However, you want to be very careful about your evidence before you make such generalizations. Even if you observe something, you may not be seeing the whole picture.

You answered this question yourself due to the manner in which you formulated it.\n\nThe answer is because they're racist. \n\nYou have implied that the racist person is white because they are complaining about illegal immigrants that are unwhite.  Therefore, the (racist) white would have no reason to complain against someone illegal that is their same race.\n\nIs this what you were looking for, or did I miss something?\n\nBy the way, not every person who is concerned about illegal immigration in America is white, and neither are they all racist.  It is a security issue as well as an economic one.  I don't think it should be a racist issue, and unfortunately some people seem to have brought it there.  Our country should have a means in place to accept immigrants who desire a better life and who want to work for themselves and their family.  Somehow the system is broken and now the people who benefit the most are corporations who exploit the immigrants for cheap labor and lack of oversight for the positive working conditions and benefits due to every worker in America.\n\nFreedom and justice for the world, not just for Americans!

First off you have to understand that white people don't understand because they can't relate. This nation call America is a hypocrite, name me one time throughout history that America ever admitted to any of their wrong doing? Never! Why are people so blind to see that America is the biggest threat to the world,why? Because they been making and committing crimes since the beginning against other nations and still do it. Because they can justify all their action. Like when they took this land instead of admitting they were wrong the say it "happens" and since Indians are OK with it mean that it OK. When they, America  killed millions of blacks and rob them of everything in everyway they say it "happens" they say bad thing have happen to the Jews, Irish, Hebrews, etc. "Everyone was mistreated at some point", by saying this makes that 400+ years of oppression OK because it "happens."\n\nNow would they still feel the same way if a hate group of blacks started killing INNOCENT whites because that hate them. And then this Black hate group say "don't punish us because people kill people all the time for hate, so why should we be punished"\nWhy do they resent such crimes committed against them, but justify the crime committed against others?\n\nSo according to there concept it happens to everyone at one point or another so it okay to kill, shot, steal, rob, lynch, oppress people because it "happens". And any nation that does these things should not be punish because other nations do it all the time. As long as you let America believe that, not slavery but the oppression and deaths of many blacks not only during slavery but also the civil rights era. As long as America believe it's Ok then they will always pose a threat to the world. The moment you let crime be committed and go unpunish then you are only cheating yourself, if you don't stand up for what is right then you will place yourself in bondage. \n\nThey say the Indians don't talk about was happen to them because their OK with it. The Indian should be kings of this land and should be paid taxes to all Indains that live here. They don't because they let other dictate who they are and what they should have. But Blacks are different don't let anyone make you think that crimes and oppression committed angainst God's people is okay.The only reason to keep you a slave ethier physically or mentally is by keeping you a fool and void of truth. If you don't know truth then how can you be set free.

California is one for sure, and I am guessing that states like Nebraska, Iowa, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Wyoming, Montana, and Oregon, have not because generally these states are more populated by white's, or hispanic's. Sorry, I looked for a link, but couldn't find one on this issue.

Very good point!  But we all know us whites are not treated fairly.
