    Most first-time defendants with surly attitudes get stiffer sentences than polite, remorseful repeat offenders. Seems unfair.

    Illegal aliens repeatedly have serious charges dismissed or walk with no sentence because they are here illegally. Seems insane.

    Neither were the Irish. Or the Italians. Or the Polish. Or women.

    And drop the "we" because you're talking about historical figures, not yourself certainly nor anyone else born in your lifetime.

    Stop playing the whiny victim, grow up and act like a man.

    That's a goddamn lie. And I'm really sick of people equating INDENTURED SERVITUDE to Slavery. GTFO with that bullshit.

    NYT is absolutely Fake News, and the author makes ridiculous assumptions of a medical nature that she has no qualifications to make, nor any evidence to support.

    Using steroid-abuser Serena Williams as an example certainly doesn't help the argument.

    You now what??? FUCK YOU. I was reading FLUENTLY since I was 4!!

    I was in TAG, MESA, and all kinds of advanced classes growing up. I was in 5th grade reading at a COLLEGE LEVEL. So STFU.

    Me being smart has NEVER held me back. As a matter of fact it's what's gotten me forward.

    YOU WILL NEVER, EVER, in your small corner of the world be able to understand what it's like to be black so stop.

    Because regardless of my 140 IQ I'm still am thought of as unintelligent, violent, and presumed GUILTY.

    You're a free man in the most free country in the world, and you're doing pretty well for yourself.

    So GTFO with that "poor me everybody picks on me" routine.

    Put all of that negative energy toward building something positive for your son and yourself and live the American Dream.

    Or wallow in your wasteful and unearned self-pity and ruin any chance your son has for a happy and positive life.

    Wow, so you were lying about all this being held back because of your race shit.

    My boys are now 37 and 38 years old. Both were in TAG and Odyssey of The Mind. Both have IQ's in the 160's. It's as if you were all treated as equals despite your ridiculous claims of victimhood.

    You're the only person who looks down on you because of your race. It's a mental thing that can destroy you. Get help.

    I dislike cheaters, yes, but I do not hate anyone.

    I believe strongly in striving for victory through fair competitiveness, hence my Avatar of Baseball's still-reigning record-holder for "Most Home Runs in a season without the use of performance-enhancing drugs".

    Really a poor article, using stats only to make a one way point with nothing but racism to blame which is the agenda.
    But in the larger picture, why should I or any other logical person care about the possible inequities between one race of
    12% of the total of all. When the real issue is why any of them, regardless of race are committing the crimes? Fix the reason for or prevent the crime, and all is equal and the world is a better place. No need to worry of why for the minutia.

    An incredible event it was in that day too. I think I listened to that game. I think I was driving south on 99e just passing the
    old drive in theater at Jennings Lodge, when Maris put 61 over the fence.

    Interestingly, from simply reading your posts, I know with absolute certainty that none of that is true.

    Ummmm.....for someone who thinks Trump is getting a raw deal, accused of crimes and misdemeanors without any kind of proof, you seem to be saying that Mr. Barry Bonds is guilty despite the same lack of proof. Bonds is as big (if not bigger) douchebag as Trump but it has never been proven that he used PEDs, regardless of the allegations. If you’re gonna defend the “innocent”, the standards remain the same, regardless what they do for a living.

    A couple of white males without medical or public health training just know it's not true that Black women have higher rates of maternal and infant mortality. Or else that they are just inferior.
