that is my point, you can't blame the system of racism to explain away all of the blacks sucking up collective resources through the justice system....they are more criminal, they are more of a drag on the collective than other races. The black death rate from homicide proves it.
The black death rate from homicide doesn't prove anything at all about racism or the use of resources by race. All it shows is that blacks are murdered more often than other races. That particular statistic is not related to what I think you are trying to prove.
Is the justice system racist? Yes, several studies have shown that black and white felons who committed similar crimes received significantly different sentences. The difference in sentences for possession of the exact same weight of crack cocaine vs power cocaine is an oft sited example where the sentencing structure itself is often tilted so that white and wealthy crimes receive a lesser penalty than black and poor crimes.
Is there racism in hiring? Certainly there were blatant examples at one time and I don't doubt that you could find examples today without much effort. You are trying to use a statistical underperformance of the black race in general to dismiss the legitimate claim of hard working, achieving black people who have seen themselves repeatedly passed over based on race. If you want black people who work hard and advance their knowledge and expertise to succeed in the US, you should support any effort to help those who work hard to have the same opportunities as those of different races who work hard.
The reality in the US is that very
successful black communities have been utterly destroyed by violent white mobs in the past. While
these events are in our distant or not too distant past, there are places and people today who would
hang nooses in treesthat black students would dare sit under.
