Here’s an article on the disparity of pot arrests in NYC—studies show roughly similar usage rates between blacks, Hispanics and whites, but show blacks and Hispanics getting arrested at much higher rates than whites. The police tried to explain it by the volume of calls on it in different neighborhoods, but the NYT debunked that explanation with their own study.
I agree with the pot scenario. I think it is an easy way for minorities to get arrested. I think it goes deeper than just pot. I'm talking about gang violence, murder, rape, etc...

Lets be real... if pics came out of Kaepernick kneeling in a concourse of a baseball stadium - the outrage would be still be enormous.
Non-violent possession charges would generally be considered so by me.
i haven’t read this specific article/slide deck closely but at a glance it appears to cover roughly what I was saying. Just among the first to pop up with a search of “drug arrest statistics by race” which gives a ton of content reflecting that usage tends to be similar but arrests widely disparate between races for non violent drug arrests.
I agree that nonviolent drug charges clogging up the jails is counter productive. Look at the Violent crimes though. Totally understand that POC are most likely residents in inner city areas. I obviously only look through the eyes of a white male, so I don't understand a lot of POC struggles

One might call “lining pockets” instead of using for public good a misuse.... but in full transparency I didn’t expect a consistent and coherent message beyond “activism, bad- merica good” based on our past interactions.
Feel free to outline in any detail what you think the $3.5m in seed money for the project will end up going towards.
I’ll contribute that unrelated to this specific fund - I’ve seen a variety of playgrounds and after school programs sponsored by the league the last few years in my own city. Which is more good than bad in my opinion. Saving the world? No. But for the modest funds in each city I think having some extra resources for you can help a little.
I don’t know how so many inner city people are in jail over non violent petty drug offenses if police are scared to go into these communities over drugs. Do the wait for them to come out to the burbs to nab them?
What do you and what does the law consider "petty" drug offenses? Show me your stats and I will stand corrected.

Dab, honestly asking...is it a fact that they commit more crimes or could it just be they are arrested by police more often?
There's a difference.
...and others may, but I am not going to label you a racist.

I would say one of the top reasons, yes

Do i think judges, and juries and police are subject to biases that negatively impact that minorities more than middle class white guys? Probably in general.
heck, I recently saw a study on sentencing the Monday following the local football teams wins and losses and by golly if the saints won you were probably going home to your family sooner across a variety of apples to apples charges being compared. I say that to point out that these are all humans that can and will make unfair decisions based on influences that they may not be conciously thinking about.
Its a fair question. A hard one to quantify but absolutely a fair question.
And if the crime rates are relatively similar early on, do you then see issues like once in the system you are more likely to see more issues with the law in the future contributing.
like is suburban sally smoking weed at a party as likely to see criminal charges as her inner city counterpart dabbling after school? It’s hard to study and pull apart all the factors but there’s compelling data that the war on drugs has been much harder on one community while usage is not wildly different
Do you think that police officers would even bother to go into the inner city over weed? Those cops are scared for their lives due to fear of getting shot by people that hate the police. I don't buy that comparison at all

I’m Roman Catholic and would never think to have God removed from the pledge. But it is funny that a country that was settled by people trying to escape religious prosecution is forcing religion down people’s throats
I never said anything about religion. I don't like religion. I do however believe in GOD. To me it is a difference

While you are correct in that more white people have been killed by police, you need to look at the ratios per race. There are roughly 38 Million African Americans, while there are 247 Million Caucasians. The number of African Americans killed by police is a larger percentage of their population than Caucasians. Almost 5 to 1 i believe.
Can you break that down further, like justified vs unjustified shootings/killings? It would be interesting to see the results.
1 hour ago, Zebrastripes said:As you are correct but you're failing to note that African Americans have a higher number of police interactions than that of Caucasians.
I'm going to say it and get labeled a racist, but African Americans, according to FACTS, commit more crimes than Whites, hence, more police interactions. I'm sorry, it is simple logic

Most people do not understand this at all. It is a double-edged sword though. There can be consequences. Most Liberals struggle with this concept.

Simple fact, the owners (and the league) think they should be able to control all aspects of the players lives. The players want to use their platform to advance what they believe to be an important social message. This is a message their bosses don't agree with.
It's become a political issue because part of this country thinks you should be able to tell them to "shut up and play" and another part thinks you shouldn't.
They are getting paid to play a game. Yes they are elite talent, but have a fund raiser. Do you think it is the owners fault that so many black people are killing black people out in the streets? No it's not and I am sure as hell they are embarrassed when they see the false narrative being portrayed by the media.

I am very surprised at the amount of people who are willing to have the National Anthem removed. Probably the same people that wanted GOD removed from the Pledge of Allegiance and think there are 69 genders. Such a sad state of affairs.

I agree

Flame away.....but do we really believe that someone could play an entire career on an "85% torn ACL"? Just for S&G's (I'm not a doctor obviously), but where does the # even come from? Wouldn't his knee just blow out from the amount of beatings he took over his career? Just doesn't hold water for me. Love the player, but don't buy the story.
Another thing to consider is that Thurman has admitted to having possible CTE issues. He might be confabulating a bit, not even realizing he is making up stories. Not trying ot be rude for all of you sensitive people out there. Just an observation.

Pretty big shoes to fill as Fairburn's replacement.
As long as the guy has a pulse, I would assume it is an instant upgrade, given the monotone of Fairburn's

You guys should not assume. Maybe it was a dude Russ was banging?

I am very dissapointed in all of you this morning. I can't believe this thread has only made it to page 121. This is unacceptable. I expect more from this group. Think about this moving forward. I expect us to be at 150 pages by midnight!
