The numbers prove that blacks under ****** law get hit harder by the courts.
No, because those are raw numbers with no detail; apples to oranges.
Two people in different states both get busted with 2 oz of coke. One is black and one is white, but the white guy got a more lenient sentence. Is it because the color of his skin? No.
A judge looks at the entire case and not just the offense alone. For instance, how much respect did the suspect give the police officers? Did he run away, fight with them, lie to them? How about while the suspect was being booked? How did the suspect dress for court? Is he disrespecting the court during trial, rolling his eyes, shaking his head, being disruptive? What was his past criminal history and how likely would it be he's back in court after he gets out?
There are a lot of things a judge takes into consideration when handing out sentences. What your numbers tell you (wherever you got them from) is that black suspects get harsher sentences, so in your race bating mind, it must be because the color of their skin. If you get some time today, go to Spike TV and record some C.O.P.S. episodes, and take note of how black suspects behave with police compared to white suspects. That will burst your bubble.
On a different side of the story, I asked a friend of mine who works for the court system downtown whether he thinks blacks get harsher sentences than whites. He said there is no documentation of that, but in his opinion, yes they do. But guess what? Those harsher sentences come from BLACK judges.
It makes sense too. Black judges live in the black community. If not, they have friends or relatives there. They want to get rid of the problem makers for as long as they can. On the other hand, the worst thing a white judge can do to the black community if he hates blacks so much is give blacks lighter sentences. For him, it's way more destructive to put those criminals back out into those black communities to destroy them even more.
