| This
spreadsheet identifies "black counties" versus "white" in
2003. |
|
|
| A "black
county" has a black population ratio at or above the state average of
6.7% black. |
|
| It then
determines your "odds" of obtaining CCW based on which type of
county you live in. |

|
|
|
| NOTES: 2001 CCW
numbers are coming soon from Cal-DOJ, and will be used to update this. |
|
| I also have the
names of every permitholder coming from DOJ, at which point I'll do |
|
|
| a "last
name analysis" (looking for "Santiagos" and such) to determine
the rate of discrimination |
|
| in the rural
counties. The Fresno Bee newspaper
did that in 1995 for their county,
finding a 3% |
|
| Latino issuance
rate out of thousands of permits, in a county that's 45% Hispanic per Census
data. |
|
| It's a good bet
Fresno isn't the only such case, which would suggest that there's "black
racism" and. |
|
| "Latino
racism" happening at the same time, but in somewhat different
"patterns". |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| KERN COUNTY: it
looks like Kern County might be a partial anomaly in that it has just a hair
under |
|
| the cutoff
black percentage, and has a LOT of permits.
However, while the Sheriff is handling |
|
| CCW
on a mostly "shall-issue basis", I have been told by Bakersfield
city residents that the |
|
|
| Sheriff won't
issue to them. And the city PD is
stingy. Bakersfield is 9% black and
has a population |
|
| of
247,000. That alone will cause a
racial imbalance. If the Sheriff
excludes other incorporated |
|
| town
residents, and if those towns also contain higher concentrations of blacks,
the net result will be |
|
| racial
imbalances in issuance within that county, preserving the overall
"pattern". |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| We also have
two other confirmed cases of counties wherein the Sheriff discriminates
against the |
|
| residents of
specific towns within their county, and the towns in question have higher
minority populations |
| and lower
overall income levels than the towns and unincorporated areas the Sheriff
declares his "CCW |
| jurisdiction". So that's three different possible
"racist patterns" without even getting into individual racism |
| on a
per-applicant basis: "urban racism", "rural anti-Latino
racism", "town discrimination within a county". |
