I showed you the math. Its simple. Those with more negative interactions with police have more negative interactions with police. Its pretty freaking simple
It is not because of racist cops. It is because of how and where people smoke pot, buy pot, sell pot and access to the criminal justice system and a proper defense. Blacks get a record. Whites hire a lawyer who makes it go away if they behave themselves....

It isnt, really. A black man is five times more likely to be killed by a police officer than a white man. Virtually every law enforcement agency in the country recognizes this and it isn't a matter of just more interactions.
The difficult part if figuring out what to do about it. But willfully burying your head in the sand and the obstinacy and intellectual gymnastics involved to argue that it isn't a reality - while submitting statistics that disprove your very argument is puzzling.
You didn't provide math. You provided statistics. And statistics don't tell the whole story unless you understand the methodology and other variables at play - which you aren't interested in debating.
when you find data from the FBI and census are lacking. Please provide more BS from that link that just obfuscates the numbers, and doesn't parse the difference between unarmed killings involving police and murders in general.

Have a good one.
Research shows blacks and whites smoke pot at roughly the same rate. Why are blacks 5 times more likely to be incarcerated for pot?

More involved in pot as an entrepreneurial activity?
Why don't you try posting actual data, instead of pulling something out of your ass and throwing it up against the wall hoping something sticks?
Eh, I get from both. I'm not predigest like that.
