Five Myths of the 'Racist' Criminal Justice System

The marxist statist racists never would let any facts get in the way of emotionally charged lies and propoganda.

Why are Black men been mass incarcerated in US? It’s because, as the US court just told me, the law enforcement in US is discretion/choice based, not merely violation-of-law based as the ordinary people believe. The court did not tell me what forms the basis for law enforcement agencies’ discretion, but my extensive experiences with the US and Canadian criminal justice system as a Chinese immigrant tell you this choice or discretion is based on race of the alleged crime perpetrators. In my case, the crime perpetrators are Whites or their non-Whites compliances. So the US court now told me I have no right to require the FBI etc. law enforcement agencies to investigate my criminal allegations, because it is their choice, discretion, not their mandatory duty, to decide whether to investigate a criminal allegation. Apparently, when the alleged perpetrators are Blacks (not in compliances with Whites), the agencies decide to the opposite - to investigate and prosecute. So the statistics of Blacks’ out of proportion incarcerate rate cannot simply prove Blacks really commit so much more crimes than Whites, since it might only be a result of the law enforcement agencies’ choice. This race based discretion/choice naturally is at least as one of the major contributing factors for Blacks’ mass incarceration. I totally agree with The New Jim Crow, the best contemporary book by Black author. Search for my name Wanxia Liao, my case # in US federal court: 11-2494.

Well said Sir! Every time I have used the crime v. population argument in public I have been accused of being a racist/KKK member, etc., etc. I believe that honest discussion is vital to understanding. If we are incapable of this, even if we must agree to disagree, we will not be able to treat with our differences in a positive manner.

If a non-black person strives to become tolerate and wants to very much, but is still called a racist by black leaders for no reason, why do they think this is helping their cause? If they always espouse acceptance and tolerance are impossible, then they are the reason it will never come.

Wanxia-You suggest that the disproportionate conviction of blacks is due to prosecutorial racism driving their decision whether or not to charge a suspect. So how do you explain Mr. Elder's statistic that "arrest rates by race are comparable to the race of suspect identification by victims"?Unless the prosecutors are getting to the victims and encouraging them to misidentify their attackers' race, you have no way to explain your theory. And keep in mind, the decision of whether to prosecute might take into account the same factors (gravity of the crime, prior records, etc.) that inform the so-called "racial sentencing disparities."I neither know nor much care what your own crime was, but you'd have more success in reforming yourself if, instead of blaming your woes on "the man," you put down the liberal koolaid and see what exactly it is about you that is bringing you the unwanted attention of the judicial system.Hint: it isn't your skin color.
