If black people aren't more prone to violence or stealing then why are they always getting arrested for those crimes? I understand white people do mass shootings a lot but neighborhood violence seems to be mostly black people!

It is true that, in recent decades, black people have been over-represented in crime statistics when compared to their representation in the general population. It is likely the result of several factors, including institutional discrimination, social and economic disadvantage, and lack of access to adequate resources. These conditions can lead to a lack of opportunity and result in higher crime rates in some communities. This doesn’t mean all black people are more likely to engage in crime, rather it is a complex phenomenon that must be addressed through targeted policies and initiatives.
