Proof of higher incarceration is not proof of unequal application of law. Additionally, sentencing takes into account past actions of the individual.
Did they commit more crimes?
Additionally if the whole racial bias theory is true (i don't agree that it is) then why should be incarcerating blacks less? I think the appropriate response would be to incarcerate white people more often.
