Race and Class in the American Criminal Justice System

It is a great look to see how O.J's trial made such a great impact on how society is viewed when its comes to race and class. We all know how society is and how certain races and classes are viewed but to actually read the statistics it makes you think wow this is the actual percentage of minorities. When David cole said "for every one black man who graduates from college, 100 are arrested." my jaw dropped that is so shocking to hear. i believe its not just with black people though. I just feel like when people do go out and commit a crime SOME of the time its because that person is trying to hustle so they can live, keep their apartment, feed their child and in time of desperate need crime happens. minoirties are also victimized by crimes statistics shows that more white males use drugs the blacks but more blacks are in jail for drugs then the white males.
