[”The fact that a black person is four times as likely as a white person to be incarcerated for the exact same crime is evidence of systemic racism,”...sounds like evidence of phony statistics to me...... ]
Factors such as unequal base rates between blacks and whites and dissimilar population characteristics all contribute to making the statistics “phoney” and of course are carefully omitted by those tossing the figures around to make their point.....
Correct. Either prove to me there is no basis, i.e. that the two groups commit crimes with the same frequency, or it’s a specious argument. If I were to say that a person is more likely to sustain a serious bit from a pit bull than from a beagle, that’s not caninism...
