I have a (white) friend who believes the fact that more blacks are in jail than whites is solely due to racism on the part of the white legal system. He refuses to believe the statistics showing that blacks actually commit more crimes.
The funny part is that the stats on race of perpetrator are taken in the police report from the victims. Since blacks are victims at a much higher rate than whites, a lot of blacks are either claiming to be victims when they are not, or reporting that their attacker was black when he was not.
Where is the racism component with black on black crime which is the reason that most of the criminals are in jail.
