  > But this is great right? What you just wrote? I'm confused now. Is this what you wanted me to say? I don't know how to parse this. What are you trying to communicate here? > This is why I point you to research books or articles. I'm pretty widely-read on this subject, and yet there is no indication that this is converging on something useful. > Or even follow actual politicians on what work they are doing If the literature isn't forthright, why would a politician be different? Who are the honest, forthright politicians to whom I should be listening? > But if you know that black people are more likely convicted than a white person(they also get longer sentences for the same crimes), then why are you asking as if you don't know. I'm not asking whether black people are more likely to be convicted or not, I'm asking what utility there is in framing the problem with esoterics. > Overall, you've ended up raising more questions than answering... Right, I'm asking a question, and explicitly not positing any answers, so of course I'm raising more questions than answers.
