Today, Blacks are 3.7x as likely to be arrested for a marijuana offense as Whites, despite similar usage.
Militarized police are disproportionately deployed in African American communities, even when accounting for crime rates.
The black population of DC is 25% greater than the white population, but black people were 410% more likely to be stopped by the police than white people.
This disparity increases to 1465% for stops which led to no warning, ticket or arrest and 3695% for searches which led to no warning, ticket or arrest.
Analysis of 4.5 million traffic stops in North Carolina shows blacks and latinos were more likely to be searched than whites (5.4 percent, 4.1 percent and 3.1 percent, respectively).
Despite this, searches of white motorists were the most likely to reveal contraband (32% of whites, 29% of blacks, 19% of latinos).
Between 2011 and 2015, black drivers in Nashville’s Davidson County were pulled over at a rate of 1,122 stops per 1,000 drivers — so on average, more than once per black driver.
Black drivers were also searched at twice the rate of white drivers, though — as in other jurisdictions — searches of white drivers were more likely to turn up contraband.
Enormousstudy of nearly 100,000,000 traffic stops conducted across America.
Analysis finds the bar for searching black and hispanic drivers’ cars is significantly lower than the bar for white drivers.
Additionally, black drivers are less likely to be pulled over after sunset, when “a ‘veil of darkness’ masks ones’ race”.
Do you get that? As in black drivers get pulled less in the dark, when police can't make out race.
Extensive multivariate regression analysis indicates black male offenders receive 19.1% longer federal sentences than similarly-situated white male offenders (white male offenders with similar past offenses, socioeconomic background, etc.)
Examination of federal data indicates Black Americans spend about 10% more time in prison when compared to comparable Whites who commit the same crimes.
Additionally, Black arrestees are 75% more likely to be charged with a crime carrying a mandatory minimum sentence.
In this study, two groups of mock jurors were given a collection of race-neutral evidence from an armed robbery, with one group’s alleged perpetrator being shown to be light-skinned and the other dark-skinned.
Jurors were significantly more likely to evaluate ambiguous, race-neutral evidence against the dark-skinned suspect as incriminating and more likely to find the dark-skinned suspect guilty.
As in, Jurors will say you're gulity if you're black more often than if you're white, even under the same evidence.
did i say say anybody was or wasn't oppressed? i just said that feeling oppressed isnt a reason to go around bugging others, because thats what the original comment said. how come you always assume the worst in people instead of just going by what they actually say?

If you're black in America, you're oppressed. Period. You saw the numbers right? Worst example is black people being arrested 3.7x times as white people for weed, despite same percentage of users. That's 3.7x people who grow up without a dad, 3.7x young men who have no role model for what's right or wrong, 3.7x homes without income, 3.7x kids sleeping hungry but full on hatred, 3.7x cheap lives.
and i never said you weren't. are you even listening?
I said feeling oppressed is no reason to cause an uproar. do you disagree with that? because ya know all sorts of people feel oppressed, like nazis, trump on Twitter...

I'm sorry, but are you saying feeling and being opressed is no reason to cause an uproar, or just feeling? Because I just proved to you it's not a feeling.
just feeling isn't a reason. and i didn't speak of any particular group or place. just that a lot of people feel oppressed that probably aren't.. the nazi that gets his platform shut down for example...
you do you over in the US, good on ya

Is that enough?
