Give me a few to find that study for you. I believe it has a paragraph or two on that particular question

The weed data….the self reported data from the Household survey should be taken with a big grain of salt. Studies have been done that show Blacks self report weed usage at a much lower rate than their actual usage vs white’s. Questions I would ask about the arrest data….1) where were arrests made (on street, in household, at school, etc) 2) data on where weed is actually smoked by race (on street hanging out, in household only, etc..) 3) This one would be hard to do but data on how often weed users by race carry around their weed even when they aren’t using or don’t plan on using in the immediacy. I ask this question because it was quite different between races while I was in college. That’s obviously only one college and amongst mostly a football team and some other general population students so it can’t be extrapolated buts it brings up the question. I’ve never smoked marijuana and only been around it during college years but if people are more likely to be carrying it around and using it in public settings, one would think they would be more likely to be arrested for it.

You are quoting my words then making up some garbage statement that I never said.

Single income/single parent families represent a large part of the problem. That’s indisputable. White families have had more generations to pass money down, however, the majority of new wealth is first generation wealth (sorry but will need to find the paper on that). Would need to read your study on this. I believe they commit more crime per capita according to the FBI crime statistics that I have seen. Especially violent crime if I’m not mistaken, which leads to longer prison sentences. Don’t have an answer for this, also don’t think I’ve seen data, but would like to make sure amounts of drug on hand are similar across races. If similar, that would be an injustice that needs worked on immediately. I believe I talked about this in a police thread or crime thread, but violent crime encounters are higher per capita
