Blacks & whites use weed at similar rates but blacks are ~3.8x more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession. https://www.aclu.org/sites/default/files/assets/1114413-mj-report-rfs-rel1.pdf …

@St_Rev@sarahdoingthing do you think the violent the official crime rate of blacks is exaggerated by structural racism? -
@KarmaKaiser@sarahdoingthing Updated strongly in that direction. Doubt it's the whole story but think highly likely it's major component. -
@St_Rev@sarahdoingthing thanks. really interesting. if you could wild-ass speculate, what rate would you think the rate would be? -
@KarmaKaiser@sarahdoingthing Not a damn clue. Higher than white rate but plausibly not significantly higher. -
@St_Rev@KarmaKaiser You've read this right? http://www.ronunz.org/2013/07/20/race-and-crime-in-america/ … Seems like it would be hard for racist enforcement to fake this. -
@sarahdoingthing@KarmaKaiser Read it, vaguely remember finding some subtle but important flaw in it, don't remember what it was though. -
@St_Rev@KarmaKaiser would love to know the flaw you find in it as it seems like the most damning, depressing evidence I've ever seen -
@sarahdoingthing@KarmaKaiser I don't remember and I'm not really in the mood to wade through it again atm. - 14 more replies

@St_Rev@sarahdoingthing that is, do you think a proper accounting of the official black violent crime rate would be much lower? -
@KarmaKaiser@sarahdoingthing The NCVS suggests no. The weed data suggests yes. Weed data set is smaller but more relevant IMO.
