Black men are mostly arrested for non-violent crimes such as drugs crimes, not for crimes like mass murders, serial killing, white collar crime.
Also, black men serve more time in jail than a white men even when they commited the same crime.
And it is also base on racism:
" U.S. studies showed that blacks were commonly sent to prison at higher rates and for longer prison terms than whites for the same crimes."
"Over half of those sentenced for drug offenses were black in 1998, even though 70% of drug users are white"
"Blacks were much more likely to be sent to prison than placed on probation"
