While it is in the opinion section, the opinion is drawn fromit studies done over a period of several years.

- “Our results suggest that for most crimes, criminal adjudication in the U.S. is not substantially biased on race or class lines,” the researchers write. “For drug crimes there appear to be very small race differences, though confidence in these effects is reduced somewhat due to the quality of many of the studies involved.” These findings, they stress, do not mean “there is not potential for bias in other areas such as police treatment, arrests, or other outcomes”

- Mr. Fryer has stood by his work, despite considerable blowback, but following the death of George Floyd in 2020, Messrs. Cesario and Johnson retracted their paper.

You're such a dumbass. You decided to take a small part of the article/reporting to try and make it say something bulk of the essay countered.

How about this:

Blaming black outcomes on the criminal justice system will do little to help the black underclass, but it helps activists raise money, and it helps politicians secure votes. Don’t expect it to stop anytime soon.

It doesn't state that the study that Fryer and Cesario was incorrect. Only that they retracted the article after the George Floyd incident. Which does not say their study was wrong. Only that they retracted after getting "blowback" from liberal hacks. They should have had the guts to stand up for their findings.

You're so easy to make look like a fool.

Black people commit the bulk of the crimes, period. The reason isn't because their black. The reason is they are poor. They have poor upbringing for a myriad of reasons. But, bottom line is if they don't want get arrested more often, quit committing most of the crimes.
