Our justice system is based on the philosophy that one is innocent until one is proven guilty. And as far as I know, that applies to people of all races. Do you think it does not?

Of course I don't think it doesn't apply to all races. But I've been around enough blacks in my 50+ years to know that an awful lot of them have been in trouble with the law, at least prior to 25 years old.

The system is also skewed by states like GA, which sentences people to probation who can’t pay their minor traffic fines. Once the person gets put on probation, they are assessed all sorts of other monthly fees and are liable for further punishment if they commit any other infraction. They can then be thrown in jail if they don’t pay their probation fees, which goes on their record. They then lose their job and have more trouble finding another one. It’s a never ending cycle that is depriving poorer people of their liberty.
