A lot of people in the US are unfairly locked up no doubt, and there is likely racial disparity in locking people up. But it's not accurate to imply 2.2 Africa

A lot of people in the US are unfairly locked up no doubt, and there is likely racial disparity in locking people up.
But it's not accurate to imply 2.2 African Americans are locked up simply for being African American. A certain number (somewhere between 1 and however many people are locked up) of all races, are rightfully locked up because they have committed actual crimes. Like violent crimes, not dealing weed.
TLDR: locking people up for theft or violence is not the same as locking people up for wearing beards or praying.
