I wouldn't say it's an excuse, actually.
It is abundantly clear that their socio-economic circumstances play a large part in this, and it is quite possible (though this is speculation on my part) that black men receive different treatment in courts from white men.
This does not excuse the choices of individuals to commit crimes, but at the same time, it also indicates that the system, right now, is not functioning well. What needs to be done remains in doubt - it could range from projects to increase their chances in society to punishing all criminals harder to deter crime. What is not in doubt, however, is that there is a problem that needs fixing.
