Do Black people commit more crime, or are they just arrested more often? The data explicitly shows that White people use and distribute drugs at the same rates or more, but the police aren’t in those neighborhoods looking to lock them up. There’s data that shows searching the car of a White person is more likely to result in a drug hit than searching the car of a Black person, but Black people are searched FAR more often. I’ve lived in the hood. I’ve lived in the suburbs. I saw more drug usage and distribution in the suburbs. Thing is, my personal account wouldn’t mean much without the fact that the data actually supports what I saw.
