So do you have any stats on what the punishment for blacks is when the judge is black? It's just a stat if it's actually accurate. But you can use stats to argue anything, I could say based on that statement, that maybe the reason for this is repeat offenders. Higher rates of proverty etc...other charges ect.. But to such there is a system wide consiparcy is something i will never buy into. There other legit and logical reasons besides race.
