I will be surprised if the gap narrows it probably means the state is putting random people in jail. Black people are far more prone to drug crimes than whites.

That's a very strong claim. The following article says the opposite: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/09/30/white-people-are-more-likely-to-deal-drugs-but-black-people-are-more-likely-to-get-arrested-for-it/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/09/30/white...
Do you have any evidence to back up your claim, or are you speaking from (biased) assumptions?
- mark_edward 10y agoLol what do you think they're speaking from?
- tn13 10y agoIsnt it a widely known fact that more black people end up in jail than white people for drug related crimes? What other evidence do you need ?
- JoBrad 10y agoYeah, but they're more likely to be incarcerated for a crime than a white person who commits the same crime - even if both are caught.
