When people smugly mention that crime is committed by black people I think about the studies that show a fairly even distribution of the whole american society admitting to doing things that are crimes

The studies are flawed, the statistics are counting the wrong thing, the consequences are aiming to accomplish the wrong thing

I wonder if there is a way succintly articulate these observations in a way that shows they are all related

Like, its not helpful to say “well maybe if they stopped committing crimes” when part of the privilege is committing crimes
