"Yanik systemic racism is real. You literally tried to claim black people are just committing more crimes. Which EVEN IF TRUE still doesnt account for massive disparity in incarceration rates"
i said racism exists, i simply said that the disparity in the prison system isn't 100% due to racism. much of it IS due to black poeple committing more crimes.
he number of crimes reported follow close in hand with the number of crime arrests, for homicide, rape, and a series of other crimes. this is true for black populations, white populations, and hispanic populations

so... what does this mean? Well, in cities where homicide rates are high, if a murder is reported and the suspect is said to be black, this happens just as often as the number of times a murderer is arrested as black.
so for your claim of "systemic racism" to be true in the justice department, then we would expect to find crime reports (filled out by all races) to be different from crime arrests, showing the police are profiling.
But instead, the numbers are quite consistent.
So, is the systemic racism in America, black people reporting that blacks commit crimes? Another statistic that also goes out the window in these talks is that very fact, in black communities, it's often local residents calling in the crime (duh).
Another statistic is that most police in heavily black communities tend to be black. communities, hire from within the community, duh. thus the proportional populations are seen in arrests.

this is a hilarious study claiming that black officers racially profile black men more often. what the study doesn't consider? the data behind reporting, ACTAUL crime rates, AND the fact that black officers tend to police high-black areas more often, because: that's how geography works when you police your local community.
this is not to say that racism doesn’t occur, but ALL disparate is not racism. Trying to figure out how much of the disparity is racism is an ongoing, and not clear, problem
