To be fair, those are disproportionate numbers. Census has black folks as about 12-13% of US pop.

There are so many more factors that go into criminality. Just pointing out your graph hurts your own point.

Okay, you do realize that, even though the study says that white people overestimate, literally none of the crimes they track are proportional to population, right? Over a third of break-ins are by black people, 40% of armed robberies, a third of all drug dealers, and a third of all violent juveniles - despite black people only being 13% of the population.

Despite this, studies show that police are LESS likely to use their firearms on black suspects, though they are more likely to physically manhandle black suspects.

Your own evidence kills your point.

They aren't responsible for more crime, they're just caught and convicted more.

Tons of black people in jail for smoking pot, because cops frequent black neighbourhoods. Meanwhile, I can smoke pot every day outside and never see a single cop car and thus not get arrested.

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Cops arrest more black people, crime rates show that black people are "responsible for more crime", cops use this as an excuse to continue canvassing black neighbourhoods and finding more people to arrest. Meanwhile all us white people can keep doing the same things they do and not getting arrested for it.

Except white people get pulled over for literally nothing, too. If a cop wants to make a quota, he doesn't give a shit about your skin color.

in addition, the main factor in crime rates is poverty: people commit more crimes when they're in a state of desperation, and black people are much more likely to be in such a state

it's not about quotas, but harassment in relation to where a person might be, or the time that they're out because of their skin.

and this is a phenomena that has always been around; it's not like those attitudes just go away

Do you believe black people are unfairly targeted by police?

In certain parts of the country, yes.

I've had friends ask me to drive on road trips through rustic areas because they're black and I'm not. A couple times when we didn't bother to switch, that's when we got pulled over in hicksville...

Why is it only 'harassment' if black people are the victims? It happens all the time to people of every race, so it literally can't be unfairly targetting one race - the race statistically proven to commit the most violent crimes per capita, btw.

It's like writing bad checks for years then bitching that it's unfair you don't get to write checks anymore.

dude, there's a difference between suspecting someone for suspicious behavior, and suspecting someone because of their color.

and your dumb analogy seems to support the latter. law-abiding black people shouldn't "bitch" because of other black people that break the law?
