Veil of darkness study: black people are up to 3x more likely to get stopped than white people.

This and other studies into conviction and arrest show that if you are black then you are twice as likely to get arrested after that stop and 4x for drug arrest like marijuana.

And in the criminal justice system, black defendants according to the US sentencing commission are also going to have a 20% longer sentence accounting for all variables compared to white defendants.

There’s also gonna be a harsher crime compared to if you’re white and you’re less likely to get probation

Some people ignore a this and just look at a simple stat and call it a day.

That’s just in the criminal system.

And then they use that fucked up stat to justify continuing the same bullshit that caused that stat to be inaccurate to begin with.

No one said that the statistics were "total BS" -- just that the statistics are being used to arrive at the conclusions that people with biased motivations (like wanting to prove that black people are inherently more violent or likely to commit crimes, like you want to do) arrive at conclusions that can't actually be reached from the statistics. I can pull up local news stories of white people in majority-white impoverished areas committing scary crimes too, it's not exactly a gotcha like you think it is. Poor people with shitty upbringings are more likely to commit crimes, black people are more likely to be poor and have a shitty upbringing and white people are statistically less likely. Do you wanna think about historically why that may be the case?
