America Is Biased In Favor Of African Americans The social scientist Charles Murray wrote a book a few years ago called Facing Reality: Two Truths About Race In America:
The charges of systemic racism and White privilege that are tearing the country apart float free of reality. Two known truths, long since documented beyond reasonable doubt, need to be acknowledged and incorporated into the ways we approach public policy: American Whites, Blacks, Latinos, and Asians have different rates of violent crime and different means and distributions of cognitive ability. These two truths drive the problems in policing, education, and the workplace that are now ascribed to systemic racism. Facing Reality lays out the evidence clinically and in detail, without apologies or animus.
Blacks have the highest violent crime rates in America, by far (Asians have the lowest, then whites, then Latinos, then blacks). Two news stories this week relate to that, and a third is the most blatant example of bias in favor of black Americans in recent memory. We'll start with that one, Beating The Buzzer
In a high school basketball game earlier this week, Manasquan played black powerhouse Camden, and won on a last-second buzzer beater. The black referee then reversed the call, saying the ball hadn't left the Manasquan player's hands before the buzzer, despite clear and obvious video evidence that it had.

“#Manasquan got robbed!” Will the #NewJersey Commissioner of #Education today reverse referees’ error that deprived the boys’ basketball team from going to the state final? @PIX11News is on this all day.

Manasquan took legal action against this injustice and was denied.
We all know that affirmative action gives blacks preference in college admissions and in government jobs, but who ever thought it would apply to basketball? And yet, here we are. Ignoring Reality In NYC's Subways
Crime has risen in New York City's subways, because New York would rather let crime rise than arrest and prosecute black offenders, who commit the vast majority of subway crime. New York's response has been security theater: in addition to National Guardsmen sent by the Governor, the City has set up check points where they search white women's purses.

They’re checking the woman’s bag to see if she has a black guy in there who might pop out and push someone in front of a train.

The full text of Woods' post:
Last month, Joe Rogan had "prison reform activist" Sheldon Johnson on to discuss the unfairness of the US justice system.
Johnson was just out after serving a 25 year jail sentence.
He explained how unfair it was that he was sent to prison for as long as he was, and Joe Rogan agreed that Johnson's story reflects a huge problem of racism in the justice system.
Today, Johnson was arrested after police found a severed head and limbless torso in his apartment. The victim's neighbours reported hearing "Please don’t. I have a family!" before hearing two gunshots.
The police found the victims decapitated head in Johnson's freezer and the limbless torso in a blue bin in his apartment.
Maybe the problem here isn't systemic racism.
Indeed.
