LIKE FATHER LIKE DAUGHTER: RIDICULOUS, ILLOGICAL AND TYPICALLY LIBERAL NON-SEQUITOR FROM ELIZABETH GATES

From Reliapundit:

ELIZABETH GATES - VIA HOT AIR:

Discrimination is the single greatest wound in American history and could never be solved over a beer. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever. There are more black men in prison than in college and literally thousands of black men are arrested across this country each day.

ER UM.... MAYBE BLACK MEN COMMIT MORE CRIME!?

  • AND MAYBE MOST OF THE CRIMES - INCLUDING MURDERS - THEY COMMIT ARE AGAINST OTHER BLACKS!?
  • AND MAYBE THE LIBERALS SHOULD STOP APPEASING AND CODDLING THE CRIMINALS AND START DEFENDING THE VICTIMS OF THE CRIMES!?
  • THE LEFT MINDLESSLY REPEATS THE FACT THAT MORE BLACKS ARE IN PRISON THAN IN COLLEGE AS IF IT WAS SOME INDICTMENT AGAINST WHITES.
  • IT ISN'T.
  • IF YOU ARE A BLACK LIBERAL WHINING ABOUT THE NUMBER OF BLACK MEN IN PRISON, THEN I RECOMMEND THAT YOU STOP WHINING AND WONDERING AND START LOOKING IN THE MIRROR.

SHEESH.

WE COVERED ALL DAYS AGO THIS IN DETAIL HERE. RTWT.

*******UPDATE:

Her statistics are pure bullshit: 

"According to 2005 Census Bureau statistics, the male African-American population of the United States aged between 18 and 24 numbered 1,896,000.

According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, 106,000 African-Americans in this age group were in federal or state prisons at the end of 2005. See table 10 of this report. If you add the numbers in local jail (measured in mid-2006), you arrive at a grand total of 193,000 incarcerated young Black males, or slightly over 10 percent.

"According to the same census data, 530,000 of these African-American males, or twenty eight percent, were enrolled in colleges or universities (including two-year-colleges) in 2005. That is five times the number of young black men in federal and state prisons and two and a half times the total number incarcerated. If you expanded the age group to include African-American males up to thirty or thirty five, the college attendees would still outnumber the prisoners."
5X MORE COLLEGE AGE BLACK MEN ARE IN COLLEGE THAN IN PRISON.

SO THE LEFT SHOULD ABANDON THIS OLD CANARD - AND LOOK IN THE MIRROR!

Now if you compare the total number of black men in prison from age 18 to 90, you obviously get a bigger number. But that is not a valid comparison.

their faulty premise is based on the internal beleif black men were just rounded up for no apparent reason and thrown in prison.

That has been true, at times. There is no doubt about it.

However, in general, it is not true.

She probably got all her stats from Harvard. You have to wonder how some of these people walk around when they are leaning So. Far. Left.....
