153. There is a lot of back and forth about whether or not Nicole RItchie is black, and a lot of "Brandy's black and didn't go to jail" and "OJ is black and didn't get convicted". This just goes to show that the whole point is being missed.

As others have said in their posts, its wrong to attribute the actions of a select few to an entire race. One of the problems with race in America is that the actions of minority individuals are accepted as the normal actions of all people of that minority. When Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie and whomever else were booked for DUI, no one said "Wow, see how all of the white people drive drunk?". I don't think that a real conversation about racism and treatment of different racial groups can be held until we all stop thinking this way. Individuals represent themselves; not their races. To that end, the fact that one or two black celebrities were not punished as they should have been does not prove that black celebrities in general are not punished more harshly.

As for the issue at hand, statistics will tell you that in general, black people get harsher punishment than white people, but I don't think a parallel can be drawn to celebrity because the nature of the crimes are different and the numbers of black and white celebrities being punished at all are very low. As a rule though, I think we can all agree that those with social status and money will get better treatment than the rest of us.
