Yesterday as I sat with my morning coffee and read my Sunday paper I came across an editorial/opinion article by the renowned political analyst George Will. As I read the article I could see my work was cut out for me since I would have to find this article online and give people a link to it. The gist of the article is;If you are black and get convicted of a crime it is racial discrimination, or is it?
Along with the article by Mr. Will I will provide the research article by Heather McDonald from the Manhattan Institute from which Mr. will got his numbers. Here are the articles:

Fantastic links. What do you bet there will be those calling George Will a racist and a bigot?

The reason that so many blacks are in prison is because they committed the crimes for which they were incarcerated, just the same as everyone else who is convicted.
Trying to blame anything else except the person that did the crime is just not facing the reality that these people are paying for the crimes that they committed.
Race has nothing to do with it.

George Will is one smartest Conservative out there, and this article is no different. Put Rush Limbaugh, Richard Cheney, and Pat Buchanan in charge of this country now. We need brains like theirs in this troubling time of ours.
It is time we stand up to these PC nazis that demand we look at everything through their eyes.

LadyLuna,
Yes, it is hard to argue with statistics but the liberals often try to. In my search for these two articles I ran across an article (wish I had bookmarked it) that said Obama had given one of these "factual" race and crime speeces one day and the next day Hillary followed up with a rebuke of the criminal justice system for is obvious racial tendacies!

You are asking the impossible! Obama does not know what a straight fact is. Practically every word that comes out of his mouth is bent and twisted to meet his own agenda.If he gets questioned on one of his facts his response is that it was taken out of context. Yeah right!
