Skippy - You just do not get it. [ QUOTE ]
I'd sure want to know who was in the top 1% of "most likely to committ murder" wouldn't you? (note. example is hypothetical).
[/ QUOTE ] You say your measuring tools are imprecise so what would you do with this information if you did find someone that was very likely to commit murder? Lock them up before they commited murder? Yea I can the headlines now: OJ SIMPSON IMPRISIONED FOR BEATING EX WIFE FOR THIRD TIME AND ENTERING SKIPPYS 1%. OJ CLAIMS THE REAL POTENTIAL KILLER IS STILL OUT THERE.
Speaking of OJ there Skippy, what type of racism was it that allowed a black jury to release him free and clear? What type of racism was it when the mobs of black people cheered the verdict of inoccence, thus freeing a black man for the murders of two people. I doubt that you will find the answer in your little book your instructor made you read (all though the read the instructors reading list and vomit it all back at him is usually good for a +1 on the grades). Maybe another new form of racism could be called, "negros ignoring crime by colored folk". If you look real hard you will be able to find that in your little book under plain old racism. There will be examples of white people being racist towards black people. You won't find black people being racist towards white people, but if you read your text with a color blind eye then you may be able to see that it is there.
