Yes, that's certainly part of it right there.I agree. Here's something I posted in the war room that in my view indicates a different approach by law enforcement to black people vs white people in the US.
If we look at opioid use in the US it's mostly a white problem. In 2018 in the US there were 36,000 deaths from opioids that were white and around 6000 that were black. So if the opioid use reflected those proportions you'd expect to see far more white people in prison for drug abuse, but you don't. 46% percent of those in prison in the US are for drug offences so why aren't more white people in prison? I think it's because they are seen to have a drug addiction issue and are not perceived as criminals despite breaking the law. If white communities were targetted for drug use in the same fashion as black communities we'd see much more white people in prison.
I think it's also just as simple as pulling over or profiling certain people more. Or when they get pulled over taking things further than just the normal traffic stop.
Heck you can see the whole" Karen" & "Becky" epidemic hitting mainstream. Where they obsessively call cops on blacks just for litterally doing inaculus activities in the same areas they are in. Bbq'ing, jogging, kids playing.
