Studies have shown that black people are more likely to receive longer and more severe sentences than white people. This effect remains even when it's matched for the nature of the crime.

I think there are definite problems in assuming this is purely or at all due to racism, but I haven't fully made up my mind.

What do you think?

It is clearly racism.

Do they account for income?

I'd have to check. How does that change things one way or another?

Well because classism can definitely affect sentencing, right?

Also income levels may change the typical crimes committed

I just checked and they did control for income. So what do you think?

Poor negroes feel more entitled to break violent laws.
