Here's the problem I have and why I look at things the way I do. There are racist people in this world - some in high positions - but sometimes people use the race card to mask the bigger problem and I don't see how that is productive.

Suggesting that XXX amount of whites are drug users and XX amount of Africans Americans are drug user but twice as many African Americans are in jail on drug charges

That's such a simple statement and to suggest that because of the above is all because African Americans get unfair treatment in the courts - is your only conclusion - that to me is not productive - it may be part of the problem, but the problem is way greater than just the race card.

500+ black on black killings in Chicago in the last year.......
