Well said. But remenber that intellectual dishonesty through statistics goes both ways. Mind you, there is the common statement that there are disproportionate numbers of blacks in the prison system. while the percentages within demographics are indeed higher (a higher % of blacks then that of whites), what's conveniently omitted that in terms of raw numbers, they are about even. comparing 300K out of some 30 million blacks to 300k out of some 70 million whites is like comparing a ton of bricks to a ton of feathers. regardless of politicalk perspective, each still ways 1,000 pounds.
