I didn't dispute that blacks get more time, what I asked was, how many priors they had? It's pretty common sense that the more crimes you commit, the more time you get.
Fate Vincent Winslow is serving life without parole in the state of Louisiana for serving as a go-between in the sale of two small bags of marijuana, worth $10 in total, to an undercover police officer.63 The undercover officer had approached Winslow and asked to buy two small bags of marijuana, promising to pay him a $5 commission. Winslow, who is Black and was homeless at the time, says he accepted the offer in order to earn some money to get something to eat.64 Winslow bought two $5 bags of marijuana from a white seller in a hand-to-hand transaction witnessed by the undercover officer, then sold the marijuana to the officer. Winslow was arrested immediately, and the arresting officers found only the $5 bill on him. Police did not arrest the white seller, even though the officers found the marked bill used to make the controlled drug buy in his pocket and had witnessed him supplying the marijuana to Winslow.65
In this example, this guy had prior convictions from years ago, so you can argue thats why his sentence was so long, however, the important part to notice: The white drug dealer WAS NOT arrested.

Who said it didn't happen at ALL? I'm sure that perhaps there are a handful of cases of that going on.
However, what's naive is to assume that hundreds of thousands of employees of the court system, not to mention jurors, prosecutors, judges etc are all RACIST. That is a ridiculous assumption to make based on a report somewhere that shows blacks serve longer sentences. Drug charges are the #1 reason for prisons being overcrowded, and much of those charges are repeat offences.

Ok, I won't attempt at this time to dispute that claim. Two things to look at though. Blacks only make up 13% of the population, of course we are going to see a disproportionate amount of whites getting jobs. Also, what about work experience and education?
I don't think it's unreasonable to assume there is some serious reaching going on here.

Exactly. These liberals seem to think that a colored man with no education or experience needs to be able to get jobs as easily as a white man with, say, 20 years job experience. It's part of the strange, turned upside down world they live in.
Not to mention, as you say, the relative population sizes.

What is the point of this type of thought process? Because to us white people it looks like a united front to demean us and to separate us and try and subjugate us.

With things like affirmative action in place, I'm pretty sure Jamal would get the job. Soley due to his skin color, but somehow that isn't racist.
Note: There are already discrimination laws that exist for employers, affirmative action is just government forced racism.
As far as who would get shot, that depends, is it in a place like Chicago, or Detroit, or somewhere like, say... Colorado Springs?
The "white man is the boogey man who oppresses minorities" narrative has been a complete pile of nonsense for a long time now. But the media and schools, universities and Hollywood etc just want to keep spouting the BS.
Welcome to the indoctrination and brainwashing from the elite left conglomerates.
Edit after your edit: there already has been multiple studies and research that back up the notion black males get more severe punishment for same crimes as white males.

When you're accustomed to privilege, equality seems like oppression.
In 36 years of life I have still yet to see this "privilege" you all constantly speak of...
My 16 year old truck and my living paycheck to paycheck lifestyle just oozes white privilege.
When you see someone use an EBT card to buy groceries then hop into a new land rover it makes you wonder where the privilege resides...
I get a sense from people that because I'm a white CIS male that I should expect to be treated less than others. Not discrimination per-say just a complete and utter lack of basic respect.
There is a sentence there where you subtly suggests only non whites utilize EBT, it makes me think you're biased.
Ummm...yet the great irony is your inability to see your own innate bias...which you just displayed so wonderfully...
I get the OP's attempt...and I agree that the white privilege narrative...is being pushed by leftists...
The sad point...irrespective of safe spaces and ideology based narrative...is that the middle ground has been lost...
Polarization won...and we have only the left to blame...
The question being asked is...how do we get to some sort of shared commonality that shrugs off difference and embraces rather than assault and spit and vitriol...?

Care to quote what I said in context to the person I was responding to? Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of the English language will understand the connotation of that poster.
I could be wrong however, that poster may have just used poor word choice and sentence structure to convey his meaning.

Do these studies take into account that 6% of the country commits almost half of all violent crime?

Of course they can. But are you saying that colored men should be equally as likely to get a job than whites? That would, in fact, mean that businesses would be discriminating against white people.
Now, let me explain what I mean. If there are 200 white people in a community and 50 coloreds, even if you assume they all have equal education and job experience etc a member of the group of 200 is more likely to get a job than a member of the group of 50. This is just simple math.

At what point does this madness end? If white males succeed in anything now its due to racism not hard work or talent. If its in business they say its due to white privilege, if its sports its because of the rules, if its political its because racist white people who helped. If its in schools its because of the education system in inner cities.
What is the point of this type of thought process? Because to us white people it looks like a united front to demean us and to separate us and try and subjugate us.
Can I bottle those tears? I'm sure they'd fetch a nice bit of coin on ebay.
