Per capita rate alone pretty poor surrogate for any conclusion.
% above state black population in jail. If a State has 3% black folks, and jail is +10 on map, means 13% of jail is black.
By itself, means little. Example: Dark blue Vermont. What about outliers? Oversimplification.
Sure, complex world, but to use VT as an example, 1% black, prisons 10% black. One of the worse disparities in the country
But what about sample size? Not arguing fact of disproportionate punishment. Just caveats of media data usage.
Gov...get your priorities in order instead of pandering to your base.
Thank you for showing that vigilant investigative journalism still has the power to positively impact policy.
How are they going to get to the truth? Like prisoners can speak freely-
the racial bias is the inordinate amount of crime in Democrat controlled urban areas. Focus on blighted & impoverished areas 1st!
you can rest assured they won't
I know...it's sad! Hopefully @RealBenCarson & @AllenWest become the role models and replace @LouisFarrakhan & Jesse Jackson!
Hm okay
Hoping you continuously dig no matter how ugly it becomes.
That's nice.
And... what about private prisons? No discrimination, no racism, no inequality?
