After all this time and all the dead victims of a "school" of economics which has all the honesty and sincerity of a Kwanza celebration we still have the true believers like the slobberer. He would vote for that committed multimillionaire commie Bernie because of his authenticity.GrundleStiltzkin said: -

THE LATEST IN RACISM
Guess what’s racist now? Yes, everything is racist, as we know, but specifically what new thing is racist? Traffic cameras.
ProPublica reports:
A ProPublica analysis found that traffic cameras in Chicago disproportionately ticket Black and Latino motorists. . . An analysis of millions of citations found that households in majority Black and Hispanic ZIP codes received tickets at around twice the rate of those in white areas between 2015 and 2019.
Those evil racist cameras. But wait—there’s more!
The coronavirus pandemic widened the ticketing disparities.
So COVID is racist, too?
It turns out that Chicago’s hapless Mayor Lori Lightweight was responsible for expanding this racist enforcement measure:
Lightfoot — who campaigned in part on ending what she called the city’s “addiction” to fines and fees — proposed that Chicago expand camera ticketing by lowering the speeds at which cameras will issue citations. Lightfoot called it a public safety measure, especially in light of a spike in traffic fatalities during the pandemic, but many observers called it a money grab. The City Council approved the measure as part of the 2021 annual budget.
And guess what—the program worked:
A summary of the University of Illinois/Chicago research provided to ProPublica last week confirmed the racial disparities in red-light and speed-camera ticketing and found that most of the speed cameras improve safety.
But it is a near certainty that the camera enforcement program will be curtailed, because equity. -
“Can’t expect blacks to follow traffic laws. Traffic laws and orderly driving are a white construct.” Would not surprise me as the next lefts racist talking point.WestlinnDuck said:I blame Trump. Jim Crow on steroids.

Bar Exams are racist and culturally biased!!WestlinnDuck said:
Just more evidence you don't actually need to know anything about the law to call yourself a lawyer, i.e., the dazzler, the leftards on the US Supreme Court, barry, Cho Bai Den et al.LebamDawg said:Oregon pulls ahead of Warshington again

Numbers are slightly different in this instance because whites outperform Asians but it's fucking uncanny how these numbers shake out along racial lines in damn near everything. Red light camera infractions, credit scores, bar exam passage rates, drop-out rates, criminal activity, you name it and it's almost always the same.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:
