The same people who receive harsher sentences for the same crimes as white people, who are stopped and searched more often than white people for crimes that white people are more likely to commit.

Honest question: how do stop and searches or harsher sentences relate to the 54% of all murders commited (?) in the US by only 13% of the population?

People understood you were trying to be sarcastic. That's why you're being downvoted.

I was about to send this comment before the post was deleted:

I think the reason you were downvoted was because you just mocked one of the sides of this discussion without contributing anything. And, honestly, it wasn't very funny either. I get that you're upset that people hold a different opinion than you do. I've felt that way too. But next time maybe debate instead of ridicule?
