That's such a simple statement and to suggest that because of the above is all because African Americans get unfair treatment in the courts - is your only conclusion - that to me is not productive - it may be part of the problem, but the problem is way greater than just the race card.

That's my only conclusion? Did i not just say in my post that wealth plays a factor? There are other factors too, but you can't ignore racial bias because other factors exist as well. The justice system isn't the only thing keeping blacks in a perpetual cycle of poverty it's just one of the things.
