I notice you mark my posts as fallacy. I don't question your right to do so, but it was you who initiated this discussion, so you are in a sense, the mediator of this thread. Of course there's nothing in the rules that says you have to, but proper ediquet dictates that it would be nice if you would expound on your feelings toward my posts. I notice you mark them as fallacy, but you offer no retort. It was you who asked me for evidence , but when I produced documented statistics, all you could do was mark it as fallacy. If you've marked it as fallacy, it would seem that you should have evidence to disprove the findings. Or are you angry that the findings poke huge holes in your argument, or even worse, you think that a racist justice system is okay?

Ummm, that wasn't a retort. That was just a non-linear rant based on your opinion. It seems a little strange that you didn't even address the findings of the United States Sentencing Commission. You marked my post as a fallacy, so I thought you would have evidence that would discredit the findings of the study, but all you've got is some articles by CNN and the Washington Post, and non of it has anything to do with the fact that white privilege is embedded in the "justice" system. For you to make a truly convincing argument that White privilege is not systemic in American institutions, you will have to do more than post opinion pieces from dismal online news outlets. Take notice of the fact that I posted a real life study, then I posted articles to help back my claims. You can mark my posts as fallacious all day long, but if you have no evidence that discredits the findings, then all you're doing is basing your opinion of it being fallacious on an opinion, not factual evidence. So, in lew of the lack of an argument, as it stands, there was a study conducted by US sentencing commission. You need to discredit those findings. Those findings were....
*Black juvenile defendants are far more likely to be tried as an adult than White defendants who've been accused of the same crimes.
*Convicted Black people receive longer prison sentences than White people who've committed the same crimes.
*Black defendants wait longer for their trial than White defendants do.
*Black people are more likely to be incarcerated while waiting for trial than White people are.
*Black people are less likely to get offered a plea bargain than White people.
*Black people get their bonds set higher than White people who've committed the same crimes.
Just to sweeten the deal for you, here's a report on the ineffectiveness of charging minors as adults.
https://humanimpact.org/hipprojects/juvenile-injustice-charging-youth-as-adults-is-ineffective-biased-and-harmful/
Beside the obvious fact that putting children in prison with adult inmates puts them in serious risk of harm and the possibility of contracting disease, it's been found to be counterintuitive as a deterrent. Making children serve their sentences with adult criminals subjects the minors to a criminal culture that has been shown to increase the minors chances of reoffending.
You could make the argument that you don't care about these statistics because it's regarding criminals, but that would be an obvious choice to ignore that Black people are treated differently than White people in a legal US institution. That would be a choice of ignoring the White privilege embedded in the US "justice" system, and I thought the point of your argument was to disprove that white privilege is real! Furthermore I wonder how people would react if this was happening to White juveniles. If it doesn't bother you, it should. It should bother all of us because this is institutionalized racism, but beyond that, we as taxpayers fund this entire process. It costs money to keep moving Black minors like cattle into holding cages. The only people who are interested in this are the owners of privately owned prisons. This herding scheme is big profit for them. Where's the outrage?
I would like to thank "@Zombieguy1987 for staying on subject the next time he/she posts a retort, we're all looking forward to your definitive evidence. Happy New Year!!!!

Then again, if you asked the black slaves ………………????
If you asked one of Hitler's blond, white "superior" Arians what they thought of their Fuhrer, and then asked a "non-white" German Jew, would you get another positive view?? I worked with an old German who always referred to "what the Jews did to the white man", and that "Hitler was right … he just went about it wrong."
