This Weather Is Racist + Black Women Saved My Life + Unfriendly Black Hottie

White kids are punished less for the same behavior than black kids

White convicts are more likely to get a job than black people without records.

Black people are more likely to be stopped and frisked than white people even though they have a higher drug usage than us.

White people (majority of doctors) think that black people feel less pain

Black people get longer sentences than white people

White people use the majority of drugs but black people go to jail longer. This talks more about why our jails and prison are full of black and poor people

White people push for harsher laws when they think it will affect black people

Black people are more likely to get death penalty if their victim is white vs white people if their victims is Black. (Really it applies to all races. Any race that isn’t Black is less likely to get the death penalty if their victim is Black.)
