Percentage. There are more people alive today than in 1970. The total number jailed has also gone up.
But the percentage of Blacks incarcerated has gone down. I already said Blacks are still over represented. But it has improved since the crime bill. Your claim the crime bill was racist is false.
Jesus fucking Christ. U.S. population in 1970 was 200,000,000 million, 280,000,000 in 2000, that’s 1.4 times higher. Compare that to the prison populations I already gave you, and you’ll see there 6 times higher by those same years, meaning the prison population grew way faster. I figured this out and wrote this in the time it took me to shit, maybe you could start looking this shit up yourself before you waste my time, especially since some of the sources you cited covered it.
I already said prison population has increased. But on a percentage basis, Blacks are less incarcerated than in the past. Is it racist that there are now far more Whites in prison because prison population has increased on an absolute basis?
Yes there are more in prison. And not even using percentages, prison population has decreased from its peak in 2008.
