What is the explanation for this disparity that does not involve systemic racism? One explanation could be that Black Americans commit more crimes. The data, however, does not fully support such a conclusion. — PolitiTweet.org

As of 2018, the latest data available, Blacks represented 12% of the general population and 33% of the prison population. Conversely, whites represent 63% of the general population and 30% of the prison population. https://t.co/bNyjuFxY8E — PolitiTweet.org

About 1/4 of the prison population is in for drug crimes & "[b]lack and white Americans sell and use drugs at similar rates" Blacks are 2.7x more likely to be arrested, & more than 6x more likely to be incarcerated, for drug-related offenses than whites https://t.co/hMOApwHQBj — PolitiTweet.org
