Blacks are 700 times more likely to be killed by a black man than by a cop.
Blacks with 2 parents and a library card are not discriminated against but they do make more money than the average white. Blacks who don't have 2 parents and don't care about reading are discriminated against.
Is it discrimination when they're generally less qualified for jobs, when they generally lower property values on moving into a naberhood in any numbers etc., Horse -- or just inarguable reality?

When I took the test for Highway Maintainer in Illinois, there were a bunch of black guys there. Many of them were scratching their heads. It was a common sense test. I was the 5tht or 6th to finish out of maybe 70 guys. You needed and "A" to pass.
About a month later I got my appointment letter. I walked into the Northbrook yard and handed the letter to the Lead, Lead Worker. He read it and said, "We haven't had a Probation here in three years."
Right then and there that was proof I had clout. ;)
I remember my first year on snow and ice. You had to plow left lane first. Everything had to go to the right, unless you were on a road that banked in opposite direction.
Some guy tried passing on the right. First the rooster tail was hitting the grill work on front of car. Then it was in middle of hood and finally in the windshield. The wipers were going 240.
Finally the guy backed off.
You know it is really stupid to try to pass a snow plow on the right since here was no way to know if the plow would throw a rock or chunk of pavement up in the windshield. :-/
When we had heavy snowfalls we would plow in tandem. That meant the routes miles were doubled up since you had to do your partners route too. ;)
