If you sell drugs, being black will land you in prison… well DUH?

First read the editorial from the Modesto Bee in California
A drug raid at San Diego State University last week made headlines. Student drug dealers were caught openly selling drugs to fellow students over the Internet, in fraternity houses and in dormitories. The arrests of children of privilege is noteworthy mostly because of its rarity. Despite rampant drug use on many college campuses, student dealers and users seldom risk prosecution.The novelty of the SDSU raid stands in sharp contrast to the contents of two reports issued last week about the nation’s 30-year “war on drugs.” The reports detail the devastating effects of a drug policy that has targeted poor blacks in inner cities even as rates of illegal drug use have remained similar for blacks and whites.
The reports, one by the Sentencing Project and the other by Human Rights Watch, rely on federal law enforcement data to document racial disparity in drug arrests and imprisonment. The statistics show a consistent pattern of discriminatory enforcement that has sent blacks — young men especially, but black women as well — to prison at rates disproportionate to their presence in the population.
According to the Human Rights Watch report, African-American men are nearly 12 times as likely to be imprisoned for drug convictions as whites. In its report, “Targeting Blacks: Drug Enforcement and Race in the United States,” Human Rights Watch includes statistics from the 2003 National Corrections Reporting Program. Combined reports from the 34 states that responded show that blacks are imprisoned for drug crimes at a rate of 256 for every 100,000 African-Americans. Whites were imprisoned at a rate of 25 per 100,000. In California the rate was 280 blacks in prison for drug crimes per 100,000 compared to 26 for whites.
The incarceration strategy has had a destructive impact on black communities. For black men, imprisonment carries a stain that is impossible to erase. It leads to joblessness and hopelessness that in turn translates into more crime.
It has contributed to the widespread belief among African-Americans that the criminal justice system is racist, that young black men selling nickel bags of crack in the gritty inner city of San Diego are more likely to be arrested, prosecuted and sent to prison than young white men who sell drugs out of frat houses. The reports give those beliefs substance.
The point here is not to treat white drug dealers more harshly. What the nation needs is a drug strategy that treats everyone equally and moves from a failed strategy of expensive incarceration toward greater emphasis on treatment, education and creating other opportunities; programs less damaging to individuals and communities.

I’m posting this as a Snoop public service, to remind you white people just how evil and racist you are!! LOL!
I have been reading shit loads of articles from Black websites and blogs hammering the point home about the incarceration rates of blacks vs. whites and how unfair the judicial system is when it comes to prosecuting black folks for drug offenses and how white folks tend to get a slap on the wrist.
However let me say what black websites and blogs won’t say. Negros who live in the communities where drug dealers and crackheads crawl around the hoods like roaches actually are HAPPY that many of these thug drug dealers get their asses thrown in jail.
Black community leaders often appeal to the police to be more vigilant in arresting these people. I’m thinking good, if more prisons need to be constructed to remove from society people who obviously show contempt for a criminal free society then so be it.
Let get real, sensitive Negros don’t read if you are easily angered, but white folks who deal drugs in the suburbs are not blasting mutherfuckers in the streets in whiteyville battling over drug turf.
Shit I live in Lawrence, Kansas and I’m sure that there are many white folks here who light up on a daily basis, but they are not shooting up their neighbors, robbing neighborhood liquor stores for drug money, hanging out on the street corners with other whiteys pimping out hoes and using little kids to make drug runs which increase crime, lower property values and lowers the quality of life.
Yes I know there are the toothless, acne scared, mullet sporting meth rednecks living in aluminum shoe boxes on wheels who instead of wreaking havoc in their neighborhoods limit their abuse to their wives, girlfriends and kids.
I get just a tad bit irritated because these blogs and websites whining like little bitches complaining about whitey not getting arrested and why Negros get caught up in the criminal game instead of focusing on how we can help prevent another generation of crackheads from terrorizing urban communities and giving the kids in those areas a shot at escaping the hood through education.
My dad told me long ago that white people have a distinct advantage in life, but he also told me that the sooner I got over that little fact and lived my life accordingly the better off I would be.
He also reminded me that “not all white people are as smart as many think they are, so you must be ready to step in when those white folks to stupid to take advantage of their lofty status are asleep at the switch. Because there are actually some white people who care more about results than color,”
I have worked to several in my life; he always reminded me that only less educated white folks have this color chip.
Bottom line too many black folks are too busy bitching and complaining about that whitey advantage than taking advantage of the multiple opportunities that this country provides.
Back to the criminal front, if Niggas are too stupid to realize that the police dragnet is just a little tighter in the hoods then they have nobody to blame but themselves.
Why not try the obvious, stay away from criminal activity and don’t associate with other criminals, maybe…just maybe it may decrease your chances of appearing in your local criminal court.
I swear Negros act as if they have a unique brand of misery. I oft wonder, when Negro women are appearing on Maury multiple times because they can’t figure out the sperm donor, or like an episode of Judge Mathis I watched the other day where this mother took her 18 year old son to court because of bail money he supposedly owed her, never mind that the mom has been on crack the kids entire life and he was trying to support himself and his little brother I thinking what the fuck?
I’m not trying to be difficult but when I read articles like this one from the Philadelphia paper on The African American Family Conference, where they had community workshops offered nearly 30 seminars on subjects including youth empowerment, fatherhood, violence, and family life skills.
How many fucken conferences do we need to have to teach people about fundamentally basic life issues? You mean some black dude needs to attend a conference to remind himself that he has a responsibility to be a father to a child or that committing violence either in the home or in your community if frowned upon?
I mean, damm is our society getting more and more retarded where folks have to be taught everything from basic parenting skills to how not to punch your wife after a drunken stupor? This is just mind numbingly pathetic.
