Before I run around and get you statics do you think it is likely that race plays a role in the way the sentencing occurs in the US?
Do you think it it likely that race might have an impact on arrest rates or how investigations proceeded? Do you think the race of the victim could have influence as well.
I don't want to waste my time talking to someone who is convinced that racism in the criminal justice system doesn't exist. It always devolves into pathetic and often racist assumptions about black cultural or intrinsic inferiority or criminality.
