Actually, white people commit more assuming we are talking about people making $13,000 or less a year. Where are you getting your statistics? The difference is that whites are statistically less likely to get prison time. Would you like to compare citations? I'm ready.

Not at all. It's about providing a level playing field. If suddenly more poor black people have the same opportunities that people like me got, you're going to see just how beneficial it can be.

Slavery isn't to blame anymore, racism is.
