Black offenders in the U.S. receiving longer sentences than whites


Recommended Posts

I remember watching a show Stefan did on this years ago on YouTube, where he went through how black offenders in the U.S. receive longer sentences than whites for the same crime. I cannot find it anymore, not sure if it has been removed.

According to the U.S. Sentencing Commission's report published in 2017, a black man on average receives a 20% longer sentence than a white man for the same crime. Whether or not violence committed in the past year is factored into it doesn't make much difference, accounting for less than 1% difference.

Is anyone able to debunk this? Or is it true? And if so, what could be the reasons apart from the obvious leftist narrative?

repeat offending might be part of it. Are blacks more likely than whites to repeat offend? Do you get a longer sentence if its your 2nd, 3rd, crime? I dont know but its one possibility

The repeat offender holds harder sentence with usada. I imagine this could be a possibility. Democrats will paint a diff pic.
