The hypocrisy has reached new levels

[alex_reno]

a perfect example of how to lie with statistics ... What percentage of these incarcerated persons are poor? What percentage of these crimes were recidivist?

Actually, I thought that there's very little - to euphemize - data management in that study. Which part specifically did you think misrepresented the facts on the ground?

Poverty? Keep in mind that whatever low-income bar you set, there are probably more white people below that bar than blacks, whites being somewhat more numerous in the US.

There is a pronounced linkage between poverty and crime, but not all poor people resort to crime.

But apparently blacks are far more likely to get locked up for it. Thus my point that racism isn't dead.
