If you can't even look at the links I'm sharing (and you even admit to as much earlier) that refute your claims then this conversation is entirely pointless. It tells me you don't want to have a discussion. It tells me you just want to repeat your falsehoods on the rates, what Bernie has done, and just consistently insult anyone who supports the man, regardless of the facts at hand. And regardless of the character/demographic/etc. of those you insult as well.
Which I guess is to be expected at this point in regards to how I've seen some Hillary supporters treat people. I don't care for in-fighting but it truly feels like at every other turn some Hillary supporters want to push Bernie ones into the ground. Even when we simply try to address the falsehoods spread about. And even when we try to present a even field and express our support regarding Hillary as well.
I am not arguing that "AA voters don't get it" nor did I even mention MLK earlier either. Both of those are ridiculous points as they don't address the poor campaigning Bernie has done in some regards. Yes, he hasn't had the best run campaign, I'm not going to deny that. I would very much appreciate not being accused of things I never said but it seems that will continue for some time regardless of my or others who are also accused of saying these things actual words. That also said, I feel like some Hillary supporters are quick to dismiss the existence of those in the AA community who do support him as well which is still some of the most insulting nonsense to me. The continued claims of "you can't belong to x minority" and support Bernie that I've seen in real life, somewhat here and elsewhere online sicken me.
You are arguing about absolute differences when others are arguing about relative differences.
If State A has 100,000 people, 90,000 who are white and and 10,000 who are black, and 1000 white people and 1000 black people are in prison, that means that the overall incarceration rate is 2%, the white incarceration rate is roughly 1.1%, and the black incarceration rate is 10%.
If State B has 1,000,000 people, 900,000 who are white and 100,000 who are black, and 50,000 white people and 20,000 black people are in prison, that means that the overall incarceration rate is 7%, the white incarceration rate is roughly 5.5%, and the black incarceration rate is 20%.
You're basically arguing that state B is twice "as bad" towards black people, because it has double the black incarceration rate.
However, state B's black incarceration rate is less than 3 times the average for all people, and less than 4 times the average for white people.
While in state A, the black incarceration rate is 5 times the average for all people, and 9 times the average for white people.
Despite State A having half the black incarceration rate of State B, the incarceration rate is weighed against black people worse than it is in State B. The difference is that State B had over 3 times the baseline incarceration rate
before correcting for race.
So while we can praise state A for putting a smaller percentage of all races in prison, as that is a very good thing, black people get incarcerated in state A at a higher ratio when compared against the incarceration rate for white people.
This wasn't meant to be condescending, but to show you where your disconnect is with the people arguing with you.
