content: 10% America= black  50% American prisons = black Incarceration rates indicate 3 explanations for this absurdly disproportionate (but factual) statistic:  1. Black people are inherently more likely to pursue criminal behavior on some biological level.   Poor people are inherently more likely to pursue criminal behavior for less subtle reason of needing the cash.  Black Americans are statistically much poorer than White Americans.   Our society is inherently racist on some fundamental level, socially preferring some races to others.   Biology is hard and we can't say a great deal about 1, biology indicates plenty of racial differences but intellect/behavior/aggression so far seem pretty negligible if not entirely non-existent. Number 2 is easy- statistically true.  The more poor you are the more likely you are to be a convicted criminal. Number 3 is easy to verify-  you just have to cross reference other race statistics that indicate treatment of explicit races.  Having used deductive reasoning so far we have largely verified causation (assuming assumptions about our variables are okay and the statistical outcomes are correct.  Criminal conviction rate across board for whites versus blacks should be a good indicator.  It should show even conviction rates across board for most (if not all disregarding negligible- attorneys are less negligible and linked somewhat to #2) convictions overall.   Results?  Well... turns out if you are black in a court of law in the United States you are about 400%-700% (depending on source) more likely to be convicted of a crime than a white person, and that your sentence will be significantly longer.  Anyway that's what's known as deductive reasoning,  it's your most basic/essential tool for critical and scientifically quantifiable thought- please let me know if any of my facts/variables need correcting. Will source on reply/request. Just for a bit more perspective let's try some anecdotal stuff.     1/6 black men has been in prison in their life (2001).  This number has been rising quickly (due to a number of things, recession and 0-20% increase in privatized federal prisons being foremost among them), and some higher estimates suggest that of all black males being born today/recently, that 1/3 of them will be imprisoned in their lifetime. Now,  think of all the people you know.  Actually, let's make it easier,  think of all your friends. Of your entire friend group,  how many are black? Of your entire friend group, how many have been incarcerated? Is it 1/6? Also just out of curiosity, do you have many friends who have gotten jumped?  Saw a dude get jumped in the park today.   A few friends.  A couple close friends.  Not a race thing generally (though this video may well be) more of an actually very common "guy gets shit kicked out of him" thing.   Pretty intrinsically human in my personal experience- but again, anecdotal-  you got any opinions? So yes actually, white privilege indeed -and not actually that surprising a human response to generations of systemic oppression. Easily provable with basic deductive reasoning and easy research that took about 12 minutes.   Feel free to correct me if wrong on anything though.  So essentially just variables (which are all pretty well sourced I doubt you will find fault with them) and the outcomes indicated by those variables (I could only think of those three there might be more explanations).
