Content: According to the United States Sentencing Commission, Black men receive sentences that are on average 20 percent greater than white men for the same or similar crime (s). This double standard makes sense when you consider that they are disproportionately unlikely to be on juries. EJIs report, entitled “Illegal Racial Discrimination in Jury Selection: A Continuing Legacy," explains that "In some communities, the exclusion of African Americans from juries is extreme. For example, in Houston County, Alabama, 8 out of 10 African Americans qualified for jury service have been struck by prosecutors from death penalty cases. In Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, there is no effective African American representation on the jury in 80 percent of criminal trials. Furthermore, according to a study by the Sentencing Project, Blacks are 38 percent more likely to be given a death sentence than white people for the same crimes. The racism in the justice system precedes sentencing and includes the very charges levied against African Americans. According to a study done by the American Civil Liberties Union, African Americans in Minneapolis are far more likely to be charged for a number of crimes. Young Blacks in Minneapolis are over 16 times more likely to be arrested than a white kids for curfew violations or loitering.
