Can you produce some science to prove that this is just based on race? I can see a black person with a long criminal history getting a much stiffer sentence than a white guy with no criminal record for the same crime and vice versa, that's kind of how the justice system works. Certainly poverty plays a role but the white supremacist in small town Texas has nothing to do with that with the black guy getting a murder charge in Chicago.
Please provide with some backup to that claim. science.
