It's because of those statistics that Scalia could dick around with the constitution. Statistics are everything. Police statistics showed high crime in black communities, (never mind how they came across those numbers in the beginning), so Scalia was able to slip in rulings that legalized stop and frisks in high crime zones, which coincided with black neighborhoods. Of course, more stop and frisks feeds the statistics even more.

If you were to be as overzealous in prosecuting breaches of fiduciary responsibility, white islands would turn into prison zones with a number of its residents wearing ankle bracelets. Believe me, you spend more out of your pocket due to the loss of common grounds where children can play for free, and infra-structure collapses caused by deals made between city officials and the builders of these communities. If you try to stop them, they will do the equivalent of a mugging--defaming you in front of your neighbors.

Anyone, by any color, can commit a mugging. But the kind of confidence scams you find in white islands are promoted by inner circles of primarily white residents.
