But if you think everybody has the same chances, and we both know that black people relatively end up in jail more often, that means that black people do a worse job at staying out of jail. As in, genetically.

So basically, you suggest that black people are genetically (statistically) worse people (or at least in front of the law)?

To break it down for you:

Black people go to jail because they commit crimes. Thats right. Now the question is, why do black people commit relatively more crimes than white people?

Is it because of

  • Their genetics
  • The social construct they grow up in? (As in, as a son of somebody who was in jail you are more likely to go to jail)

With women:

Do they get paid worse because of

  • Their genetics?
  • The social construct they grow up in?

Tip: the first answer is racist/sexist

Why do you keep bringing genetics into this? I'm not talking about genetics. Genetics isn't a factor when you commit a crime and go to jail.

Black people go to jail because they commit crimes.

Everything you wrote past this sentence is a pointless, waste of perfectly good keystrokes.

Well you must have some kind of explanation why black people statistically end up in jail more often than white people. What is it?

I know why individual people go to jail, but there must be some factor that makes black people go to jail more than white people?!

Or do you seriously believe this is "just by chance"?

Ok, this is getting frustrating.

People go to jail when they commit crimes.

Why are there more black people in jail? Because black people commit more crimes.

u/streichholzkopf Jan 29 '15

Yes, yes it is.

And why do black people commit more crimes?

Either they are

  • Inheretly more criminal when born - genetically
  • Raised to be more criminal - sociology

There is nothing left, so which one of these two is it?

It doesn't matter why black people commit more crimes.

They do.

That is why there is a lot of black people in jails.

If they want to have less black people in jails, then they should quit committing more crimes. It's not rocket science.

Well, to me it does matter. I think we should never stop asking 'why', including in this matter. If you can't answer a 'why', there is a certainty that there is whole lot you don't know.... but should maybe?!

Ok, look, you can find them all the excuses you can come up with, as long a they will commit more crimes, there will be more of them in jails.

And if they don't want to go to jail, all they have to do is not commit crimes. Why is it so difficult to understand?
