It's true that arrest and incarceration rates are higher for Black Americans, but that doesn't automatically mean they're committing more crimes. It means they're being policed and punished more often and more harshly. Studies show that people of all races commit crimes at similar rates, especially when it comes to things like drug use, but Black people are far more likely to be stopped, searched, arrested, charged, and given longer sentences.

Unless you're claiming that Black Americans are inherently criminal? Are you suggesting that?

Because that would be...racist. Because we're all the same except for the melanin in our skin. And to say that one group of people is automatically more criminal is the opposite of that.

Here's the study on it: https://counciloncj.foleon.com/reports/racial-disparities/national-trends

And it's actually going down. It used to be 1 in 3 instead of the 1 in 5 it is now.

And the demographics for the population are 72% white Americans and 13% black Americans. I'll accept your 69%/24% as accurate because I remember it being about that the last time I looked it up. But you can see at 24% the Black population is over represented in prison. It's nearly double the rate.

And this comment, "hows certain people commit a disproportionate amount of crime." is what keeps that system of racism going.

Are you saying their skin color makes them naturally criminal?

First, it's great you're finally asking for specific and relevant examples. It shows growth on your part. Second, of course I have specific and relevant examples.

1. Criminal Justice Disparities
Black Americans are imprisoned at five times the rate of white Americans. This kind of unequal treatment starts early. Many schools with mostly Black students have police on site but no counselors. Instead of support, kids get punished. That feeds into what’s known as the school-to-prison pipeline.

2. Unequal Education
Not every kid has the same shot at a good education. Schools in non-white districts get about $23 billion less in funding each year. Many are outdated and lack resources. Black, Latino, and Indigenous students also face more suspensions and expulsions, often due to bias. Some end up dropping out. Those who go to college often carry more debt. On average, Black students owe $25,000 more than their white peers.

3. Housing Inequality
Only 46 percent of Black Americans own homes, compared to 76 percent of white Americans. Homes in Black neighborhoods are valued lower too, often by about $48,000. This comes from long-standing bias in the housing system. Gentrification makes things worse, pushing out longtime residents when neighborhoods are “revitalized” without their input.

4. Job Discrimination
High-paying jobs are still out of reach for many. Black and Latino workers are underrepresented in leadership and professional roles. Fewer than 11 percent of CEOs in major companies are from underrepresented groups. Black unemployment is also usually double that of white workers. These gaps limit economic security and upward mobility.

5. Health Gaps
Where people live and work affects their health, and racism plays a big role. Black Americans often face more obstacles to getting good care. That includes lack of insurance, food insecurity, poor housing, and low income. As a result, they have higher rates of chronic illnesses like diabetes and heart disease. Life expectancy is about four years shorter for Black Americans compared to white Americans.

That second bit about "white people not getting any kind of special help" is the systemic racism.

The idea of a community being elevated or supported is somehow prejudiced against your specific demographic is a key concept that promotes systemic racism.
