holy carp ftw?!

wow i can't believe i managed to oversleep this morning. nothing too damaging though seeing as how the bus doesn't bother to have a connection that will get me to work on time if i don't catch the first one out.
at any rate, while i was reading the news paper the other morning, or the front page of it at least. there was an article about how black are more likely to be convicted of a crime than the exact same crime if it were committed by a white person. and all i could think of was "DUH!" i mean come on, is this really news to anybody. they also went on to say that white people violate laws more often. also no big suprise there. they make this sound like it a revolutionary discovery, and i know for a fact this is not the first "study" inbvolving a race in relation to crime ratio. so what is my point? well, black people say this all the time, and more often than shrugged off as pulling the "race card". however, let a group of people get together for what was probably a college assiginment, call it statistics, and suddenly it means something. well, it means something at least until they finish the paper.
