? Really?
So your assertion is that black people just tend towards criminal activity? And you don't understand why people don't just agree with you?
FWIW, it is NOT a fact, and there is no need to hide it.
The purpose of my prelude was to point out that using the Federal Governments own thresholds, the Criminal Justice System is racist.
According to the researchers, innocent blacks are seven times more likely to be convicted of murder than innocent white people. Gross said this was partly because homicide rates among black people are higher than among white people, and innocent black people are therefore more likely to get suspected and convicted of murder.

The constitution and bill of rights are so UN racist,
Do you think so?
Native American Indians where not allowed U.S. citizenship for 135 years after The Bill Of Rights was invoked.
I would call that bloody racist, wouldn't you ?
Citizenship and the bill of rights are not the same thing. nice deflection though

You need an editor to make any sense of this. And spell check. Grammar matters.
I don’t know what your point is, but the constitution is not racist. It clearly states that all humans are to be treated equally.
However, people are racist, and people run the government and people do not follow the constitution.
I can’t think of any part of the constitution that i would change.

What happens when the good isn't quite so common?
You get this asinine left/right political pendulum that ignores the sane people in the middle.

For example.... James madison, he owned slaves all of his life.
Slave owners wrote the Constitution.

There is an adverse impact here that is imprisoning black people at a far, far higher rate than any other race. Its a fact. You cannot hide it, even by cooking the numbers and pretending you don't have hispanic people in prison.
Not only does our government victimize black people with the criminal justice system, they fudge the numbers to lie about it because they know it is wrong.

Yes sir. If a man isn't free, why is he out of prison?
ETA: its my assertion that the term "felon" was a way to keep black men from voting or owning weapons. If it isn't, the net effect is adverse impact.

Biased ?
It was written by a group of true hardcore progressive liberals
Liberal ? Yep , they were greatly liberal with the freedoms they put forward to the people of the US. And progressive enough they set them in stone in a document called The US Constitution.
Progressive ? Yep , in the ideals that all people are created equal (not well known around the world in those days)
Progressive - With the ideals that all people are created equal ,they set the stage for the Emancipation Proclamation , Women's Rights , and Civil Rights . (again , not well known around the world)
You could say they were biased for the US
I rest my case.

Slave owners somehow equal civil rights activists? That's the exact opposite of civil rights.
