Agreed with all your facts. What we need to be doing is looking into why these figures are like they are.

Classing people by colour is not representative until it's compared to income and circumstances. Could it be White people in the same income bracket, environment, education level commit a similar number of crimes?

What are the odds a black lawyer in a top range car will be pulled over more often than a white lawyer in the same car?

What are the odds a black upper-middle-class college student will get lower degrees than a white Student with the same background?

And so on.
