But apparently Al Sharpton is confused about what it is. He thinks the problem is that the NYPD is racist. (Really, he probably thinks that all white people are racist - so his actions suggest). And he wants to file a lawsuit. He just loves lawsuits. What’s the reason? 55.2% of the people subject to “stop and frisk” searches by the NYPD have been black. Only 25% of New York’s population is black.

Why is Sharpton dumber than Paris Hilton? He’s neglected the fact that out of all the alleged criminals described by victims and witnesses, 68.5% were black. So if 68.5% of reported suspects are black, but only 55.2% of the people stopped by the NYPD were black, what is the basis of thinking that the NYPD is racist? If we’re going for proportionality, the NYPD should be frisking more blacks.

Maybe I should file a class action lawsuit against the NYPD for charges of racism. Why? Because while 11.1% of the people who are stopped and frisked are white (44% of New York’s population is white), only 5.3% of reported suspects are white.

Interesting angle. Never really thought of it that way before…

Sure does make “Reverend” Al look silly.
