[QUOTE="SilverBear, post: 72459123, member: 390533"] the problem here is that you don't have the same crime. You avoided using the same crime so you can pretend that racism in sentencing doesn't exist. If you want to claim it is the same crime: Let's imagine two cases of assault. In one case, a white 18yo guy learns his friend is sleeping with his girlfriend and attacks him...beats him up. in Another case a black 18yo guy learns his friend is sleeping with his girlfriend and attacks him...beats him up. Both of these men are facing the same assault charges. Let's imagine they both have the same record...no previous charges or convictions...and they never had a run-in with the police either. what happens next is that the black man is more likely to be prosecuted than the white man for the same crime if bother are prosecuted the black man is likely to receive a sentence that is 20% than the white man. The crimes are the same as is the criminal record for both but the sentencing is vastly different and that difference is attributable to race [/QUOTE]
