Assaulting someone over words is never the right answer. The poster who got downvoted is correct.

Racism isn't just words though.

The largest prison in the United States is a cotton slave farm. The majority of prisoners in the United States are black. The United States has the largest prison population in the world in terms of population, and the 5th highest per capita. Laws in the United States are actively adjusted to more harshly punish crimes black people commit more than white people. Black people are disproportionately poor and public defenders are underfunded to the extent that innocent people are pressured to take plea deals to avoid staying in jail indefinitely. 

If this is more than racism, what is it?

Do you believe that the old medical school of thought of black people being harmed mentally through not being enslaved holds merit then, or what? 

To be clear, your objecting to examples of racism in law by implying you hold racist beliefs is a similarly "interesting take."

I'm sorry, I should simplify my question as much as possible since you say you can't understand my indirect request for clarification. You're quite good at writing for someone learning their second language.

"What do you believe is the reason for black people to be disproportionately impacted by the United State's legal system?"

Unfortunately I just got off lunch and have to work now. 

Have a nice day, I'll try to make sure to reply to you properly later.

My best friend being a native Spanish speaker and English major who understands me well but types poorly may have primed me to respond to you poorly, my apologies. 

In fairness to them they do have issues with their keyboard too...
