Crime is race based to a very large degree. Incarceration is crime based. Ergo: Incarceration is race biased.
“Crime is race based to a very large degree. Incarceration is crime based. Ergo: Incarceration is race biased.”
I think that you’re using heavy sarcasm here, but, just in case...
Let’s first put the horse before the cart....
Incarceration is crime based.
Now for the facts.
(Crime is NOT race based, it is criminal based.)
“To a very large degree” is an absurd idea.
There is no “ergo.” There is no bias in the FACT that the prison population is “largely” made up of blacks.
Blacks commit more crimes “ergo” there are more blacks incarcerated.
